Latest-Generation WiFi 6
The latest standard of WiFi delivers the very best speeds and device capacity.
Gigabit Speeds for Mobile Devices
Combined WiFi 6 speeds of up to 6Gbps are extended throughout your home.
Expansive Coverage
Create a powerful mesh network and get wider range to cover every corner of your home, even in places your router can’t reach.
Compatible with Your Existing Router
Backwards compatible with non-The Netgear Nighthawk AX8 WiFi 6 Mesh Extender (EAX80) is configured using the Netgear Nighthawk app, which is also used for the company’s routers. When setting the extender up, you have two options.
If you want to extend your existing wireless network, you should install it in extender mode. This lets you use the same wireless network names that you’ve currently got, and the extender connects via Wi-Fi to your existing router.
The mesh part in the name comes from the fact that the EAX80 uses smart roaming. Without this, wireless devices try and maintain a connection regardless of distance, so as you move from your router the signal gets worse; smart roaming will get devices to switch to the EAX80 when its signal is stronger.
You can also use the access point (AP) mode. This requires the EAX80 to be connected to your existing router via an Ethernet cable. You miss out on the smart roaming features, but you can use the extender as an upgrade to an existing router, turning off your current Wi-Fi. Alternatively, you can use Ethernet to place the extender a long way from your main router (I put mine in a garden office).
Technically, if you use AP mode, you should use a different network name, as without smart roaming your devices may not switch to use the extender even if it has a stronger connection.
As an extender, you get fewer features on this product than you do with a full Nighthawk router, so you don’t get the same access control features, and there’s no guest network. You can manually change the channels that the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks run on, although you must connect to the web-based management interface, rather than using the app.WiFi 6 routers. Unlock the best performance when you use with a Nighthawk WiFi 6 router.
I actually have two these, but this ad is for one. No calls or texts after 9pm.
