September 06 2019 - 3:59AM
NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), the leading provider of WiFi
that power smart homes, today introduced, a world’s first, the new
Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream WiFi 6 Mesh Extender
(EAX80) to address the needs of constrained or
limited reach of an existing home WiFi network. Adding the
Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh extender to a home network extends the range
and capacity for more connected devices.
Today the world is a connected one, where much
of what we do on a day to day basis depends on connectivity. The
good majority of consumer electronic products now require a WIFI
connection to deliver the features optimally, which is only made
possible with a continuous and strong connection with the capacity
to handle simultaneous connections.
Built for the wireless network challenges of
today and the future, the Nighthawk WiFi 6 Extender delivers the
maximum capacity, maximum speed and the greatest coverage. With
WiFi 6 added to a wireless network, one can now experience
broadband connectivity at the furthest corners of the home with
blazing-fast performance up to 6 Gbps. The 8-stream WiFi delivers
more spatial streams with more available bandwidth and thus less
congestion for all the devices connected on the WiFi network.
Compatible with any WiFi Router, including
internet service provider gateways, extending the network
capabilities with the new Nighthawk AX8 WiFi 6 extender is seamless
and uncomplicated. The existing WiFi network name (SSID) will
remain, so that devices do not need to be manually connected to the
extended WiFi 6 network. With the Nighthawk AX8, you will now be
able to take advantage of all the benefits that WiFi 6 has to
offer, such as faster speeds and increased capacity, a necessity
for today’s Smart Home.
The EAX80 also comes equipped with four gigabit
LAN ports for those who prefer a wired connection to their devices,
and includes a USB 3.0 port to add network accessible storage.
“At NETGEAR, we have worked to provide a diverse
product line of high performance WiFi 6 offerings. With the
introduction of the Nighthawk AX8 Mesh WiFi 6 extender, we have
ensured that anyone who wishes to experience the latest in WiFi
technology can do so,” said David Henry, senior vice president of
Connected Home Products for NETGEAR.
The Nighthawk EAX80 is ideally suited for larger
homes with numerous WiFi connected mobile and smart home devices,
where an existing router or cable gateway is already installed.
Experience the ultimate in both gaming and streaming performance
from the garage to your backyard. Gigabit download speeds will
become a reality with 160MHz bandwidth support for mobile and
laptops.
With the NETGEAR Nighthawk app for iOS and
Android, the setup of a new WiFi 6 mesh extender is made easy.
Within a few quick taps in the Nighthawk App from a tablet or smart
phone, WiFi 6 can be extended as a mesh network throughout the
home. For those who also own a Nighthawk router, it is a breeze to
manage both router and extender from the app.

8-Stream WiFi 6 Mesh Extender (EAX80) is now available for
pre-order worldwide for a MSRP of $249.99 and is expected to ship
