Review Summary

Got the EAX80 because WiFi wasn't reaching grandson's bedroom. Place the extender about halfway between router and bedroom but that didn't work. Apparently there is something in the bathroom walls that kill the signal. Ended up placing extender in his room. Signal from the router in that room is 50 Mbps. WiFi from the extender was 300 Mbps and Ethernet was 500 Mbps. However signal keeps dropping and connecting to the router about once a week. I didn't think the problem is with the extender, it is just because whatever is in the bathroom walls killing the signal doesn't allow proper placement of the extender

Very impressed with this wifi extender, I use it in my shop and it works great even through the metal walls.

The Netgear EAX80 extender is excellent wifi extender and is a great fit to my Netgear RAXE500 wifi 6E router! Works great and easy to monitor in the Nighthawk system. Should work great with any Router in the Nighthawk system and maybe others too.

Upgraded from the EAX20 which was a great extender. The EAX80 completely covers my entire property inside and outside.

We bought the EAX80 because of the PlayStation at the other end of the house. Then our router quit and we bought another ASUS router a RT-BE57U. Now everything works great except the Sony PlayStation. If it wasn't for that I would have given it 5 stars. If you have any information that you could share to help us, we would appreciate it.

I needed a device that would keep my signal from dropping or just getting a weak signal strength and this was great choice that achieved my goal and improved my coverage

I purchased the Netgear gateway system about a year ago. I recently moved and was having trouble with my Internet signal so I purchased the extender. I'm a little disappointed in the range. For example, a television needs to be directly connected. That is only two walls away and less than 20 feet. The TV will not pick up the signal from the extender. Still trying options to fix, but I have to say I'm a little disappointed.

Works fine if you just want to watch a show or two at the same time but often wont connect with the mobile APP and just makes it not a great pick for what I was looking for.

My old route use to drop out a lot. I wanted to try the AX6000. I have very happy with it. I've only been using it a week, but it has been great so far.

Could not get wifi to our outdoor area due to block construction and hurricane windows. Tried several other products that didn't work. EAX80 does the job and works great.

Very easy to set up, plug in and follow the APP steps, a few clicks and done. Only drawback is that it consumes a bit of speed thus what you will be getting out of it would be a bit slower than you would otherwise get via WiFi connection to the router itself.

I purchased a new NETGEAR router as part of a trouble shooting process when my WiFi stopped working. It turned out to be a firmware issue with my new modem. I planned to use the new/updated router anyway. But it would not connect to everything. So I reinstalled my AX6000, and it works seamlessly with the new modem.

I recently purchased a Netgear Nighthawk Mess Extender Eax80 to extend my wifi out to onto my patio. It works great!! Don't have to swap over to other wifi network anymore. It's also super fast!

We have this in the end of the house so it extends to our garage and we have music through Alexa when working out there now. Also can surf for parts without dropping the connection! Satisfied!

The NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender (EAX80) completely upped my Network game. I have an involved network with many devices who suddenly stand at attention and are super responsive since I installed the NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender (EAX80).

I tried a smaller range extender in my basement and didn't have good results. Purchased the EAX80 and instantly have wifi 7 in the basement. Would definitely recommend
