Best Wifi Range Extender for Nighthawk AX6 6-stream WiFi Router AX 4300 Model#RAX45

Any recommendations for the Best Wifi Range Extender for use with Nighthawk AX6 6-stream WiFi Router AX 4300 Model#RAX45? Just installed the Router today and it is lightning fast, but the signal does not carry to the far rooms of our home.  Looking for the best range extender.  

  • Try also the cheaper version instead of EAX80. Purchase EAX20. It’s their newest addition to the extenders. I have RAX45 router and EAX20 extender. It works beautifully. Note the EAX20 is 4 stream unlike EAX80 which is 8 stream. But EAX20 runs $149.00 EAX80 costs $249.00

    The best? Probably the EAX80

    Depending on what you're doing, I've got the EX8000 and it more than covers what I need.

      I too use the EX8000 with my new Nighthawk RAX45 and it does a nice job extending both 2.4 and 5ghz to a area of the house that was having reception issues.  I configured it to use it's own SSID so I'm clear which radio I'm connected to.
