    Extender EAX80 was easy to set up and it pairs very well with the Netgear CAX80. It helped extend wifi signal and I was able to see improvement with wifi devices plus my doorbell camera for homekit. Highly recommend.

    When you absolutely have no other choice, but to use a repeater, this one works.

    Very Disappointing Extender Via Ethernet

    Tried to use this via ethernet with my ATT Fiber router and it ended up being a very bad experience. Interface for this is so much worse than the AX8 router and connectivity was 60/60 on the EAX8 versus 600/600 on the AX8 in AP Mode. No comparison. Skip this unit if you want to run via ethernet.

    Actual speed achieved in connectivity with an AC1200 router was no better than not using the extender at all and connecting to the weaker WiFi signal from the base station router I was extending. Great to have wired client multiples from a unit like this, but sort of useless with anything not also a WiFi 6 router of blistering speed.

    This unit works very well, in fact excellent. The problem I had is that, is very difficult to change the password once you have set it.
