Overview

Say goodbye to dead zones, the EX8000 is a powerful Tri-band Wi-Fi repeater (AC1750 + AC867 + N450) designed to increase the Internet speeds of your devices. It is compatible with all Wi-Fi routers or Internet boxes.


Unparalleled speed and range with no drop in bandwidth


The Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band Wi-Fi Repeater features patented FastLane3 technology that offers Tri-Band Wi-Fi with speeds up to 3 Gbps, a dedicated Wi-Fi link for the router to avoid halving the bandwidth of Wi-Fi signals and an innovative antenna for maximum coverage. Now you have a highway to connect all your devices to the Internet.
Choose a Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band Wi-Fi Repeater and boost Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home with the same Wi-Fi network name. It is compatible with almost all Internet boxes.


No more changes to WiFi network names


The Nighthawk X6S creates a seamless network throughout your home by using the same Wi-Fi network name (SSID ) as the router. Your Wi-Fi devices such as smartphones and laptops will stay connected to the same network as you move around your home and garden.

Other repeaters create different Wi-Fi network names (SSIDs) than the Wi-Fi router, causing unwanted disconnections and reconnections.

Smart roaming allows you to connect your mobile devices to a powerful Wi-Fi network for streaming and 4K browsing. Enjoy uninterrupted streaming of YouTube or Netflix, even when you move around the house.

Smart roaming is designed for devices that support 802.11k.


Nighthawk Router + Nighthawk Repeater

A desktop repeater like the EX8000 is a great choice if you need USB storage options and Ethernet ports to connect multiple network-enabled wired devices. Use the repeater's 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect wired devices such as connected TVs and game consoles.

Take advantage of all the advanced features of a Nighthawk router and create a powerful Wi-Fi network by adding the Nighthawk X6S Wi-Fi Repeater. Now you can customize the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks. Use the SSID of your Internet Box to create a single network or multiple SSIDs to create separate networks.


Optimize your Wi-Fi network


Before setting up your WiFi repeater, download NETGEAR's WiFi Analytics application to test the WiFi signal strength throughout your home to identify areas of poor coverage. Once you have installed your WiFi repeater, use the app again to test the signal strength and see how your network speed has improved.

The Wifi Analytics application allows you to:
  • optimise your home network
  • check the network status
  • monitor signal strength
  • identify the least congested or disrupted Wi-Fi channels

  • With combined Wi-Fi speeds of up to 3Gbps, a quad-core processor and advanced features like MU-MIMO and Smart Connect, you can now enjoy an extreme online gaming experience and 4K streaming video anywhere in your home.
  • Stream music in your backyard, start a video conversation in your kitchen or play online games in your basement. Enjoy seamless Wi-Fi coverage in your garage, upstairs or guest quarters without any network interruption.

    a piece of junk!

    Acquired 2 years ago. A power cut and hop! it doesn't want to work at all. Reset impossible, and I tried everything. The worst thing is that the Netgear app asks you to scan the QR code on the bottom of the device: answer: "QR code not valid". It's like a dream...

    Out of time

    As for the quality of this repeater, in terms of performance, there is nothing to complain about.
    Stable network without packet loss with a latency >= 1ms.
    The black point is the network standards supported which are no longer state-of-the-art.

    Combines with Netgear XR500 Router

    I bought this model as an extension to my xr500 router, everything works fine even with 30 cm stone walls I can get Wi-Fi with maximum speed throughout the house and even beyond that I can get reception on a 1 hectare outside in my yard.

    I don't really see the difference

    Easy wps installation
    The site, a lot in English, not easy to find your way around. The site, a lot of it in English, not easy to find. With all this reading, I have the feeling that I didn't make the right connections, that I may not have made the right choice of product

    Great, only on paper

    Product purchased to extend my wifi and provide wired network to fixed stations.
    The first installation goes very well with the hardware WPS.
    The mobile application requires the creation of an account on the Netgear site, I pass.
    Everything works fine until a second workstation is turned on. Then, loss of network, wifi, bounces and finally after 10-15 minutes back to the network.
    After checking the Netgear interface, nothing, no log, just a completely useless status.
    After 15 days I now have to reboot the Netgear every time a fixed station is turned on. Still no diagnostics.

    In short, only regrets.

    Top-notch repeater

    The Nighthawk x6s lives up to the description given by the manufacturer. It does its job with dexterity. Too bad it's expensive.... But it is a very good tool to extend the WiFi network, in the best conditions, in rooms where the reception was very bad.
    I highly recommend this Netgear WiFi repeater.
