EX6250 (AC1750 Dual Band WiFi Mesh Extender) - Will two work together?

Hi, this is a quick and (hopefully) easy one.

 

I have an EX6250 AC1750-WIFI MESH EXTENDER and absolutely love it!

 

However, I have a large house and could benefit from another one in towards the rear of the house to give better WIFI coverage in the backyard.

 

My question is - Will two of these devices work together on my network? (I assume they will, but don't want to waste the money if they don't)

 

Thanks for your assistance.

    They will.

    I usually don't recommend it but if you're going to do it, try to set them up in a star configuration and not daisy chained. 

    Star: extender<------router------->extender

    daisy: router----->extender------>extender

     

    in daisy chain, your latency increases quite a bit and your speeds drop a lot.
