Not Wpa3 compatable

Wow, This junk is not wpa3 compatible. Easy firmware update but not from the greedy folks at netgear. I'll never buy another netgear product. took hours to sort this out as well.

Not as good as I hoped

I ended up buying this because of some positive reviews I saw online. I regretted that decision. Apparently I looked at the wrong set of reviews to start.

Works great for us.

Our small house has fire resistant backed drywall, so that cut down the range of our WiFi. The extender is able to push the signal throughout the house and into the garage. It's been an amazing device. Super easy to set up and troubleshoot.

Keeps my dog safe

I have a 5000 SqFt house with a single router on the second floor. Had trouble streaming downstairs, so I added the extender. The surprise outcome was that it extended my wifi well beyond the house out into the lawn for about a 200ft radius, so that now my dog-tracker collar can report that my dog is safely at home, not off exploring the forest.

So so mesh box X6S but ok.

We have the X6S Nighthawk X6S WiFi Mesh Extender (EX8000) to connect the upstairs smart TV and an older desktop and a HP photo smart printer. Though the connection was stable but was never full signal. I hope the X6S would get a better upgrade when the next firmware update.

Not a bad router but hard time hooking it up

A little difficult to hook up. Upgrading to the 6G mesh soon and hope that can cover the barn area

I bought the EX8000 to improve the Wi-Fi range in an the house and it definitely improved the range and speed of the data Wi-Fi signal. The set-up and configuration of the Extender was very easy.

Terrible service - New Firmware V1.0.1.240 does not work on any Apple device

I just updated the firmware of my AC3000 Extender, and the new firmware only works on Windows and Android based devices, but not on any Apple including iPhones, iPad, Mac. I tried to get back to several older firmware versions but none of them are working! Great way to push us all to buy a new extender with this dirty move!

Difficult to keep working

This is my second one, the first one lasted a year. The first one was no problem connected easily and stay connected. This one was very difficult to get connected and your text service people very difficult to understand. If you sell products in the US I think you I think you should use American customer and tech service

Nighthawk

I have used different wifi extender to resolve issues on the lower level of my apartment and definitely it was resolved by using the nighthawk wifi extender and what I was table to content the smart TV directly at the rj45 port that the wifi extender has.

Great piece of equipment

I have a nighthawk wireless router a d have tried several other extenders and noticed how bad the dropoff was in signal strength. However, with the EX8000 there is little to no dropoff at all. I play online games so a stable and steady connection is a must. I would recommend this extender if you are looking for an easy to use quality product

Extended Coverage with ease

The mesh extender extended our coverage in areas of the house we had no signal from our Starlink wifi. The app made it easy to configure and test the signal.
