The extender has no idea that the amped is an extender, as far as it can tell it's just another client device. So it will allow a daisy-chained extender - something else must be wrong with the setup. Perhaps the security mode???
FWIW, daisy-chaining through an extender isn't ideal, the extra hop will reduce the overall throughput. If the other extenders can make a decent connection to the main router, then you should do that instead.
