You should move the router.
Daisy chaining extenders is a recipe for issues. I usually recommend people move to a full mesh system when they're needing more than 1 extender.
but I'd do my best to move your router to the middle of the home. Garage's aren't a good location as the wall between the garage/home tends to be thicker, have insulation, and potentially other blocking materials. meaning the extenders connection to to the router tends to be worse/unstable.
Try for a star configuration:
Star: extender<---------router-------->extender
not the daisy chain you have
daisy: router------->extender------>extender
