Can a device get signal from two (2) 6200 extenders
We have a situation where the signal is blocked by steel firepaces, etc. The router (6250) is in my lower level office which has one network name (SSID). There is a 6200 extender in the living room...
The arrangement of your house is not very clear. In any case, if you are hoping to wirelessly connect one extender to another extender, then that is generally not recommended due to poor performance.
OTOH, you should be able to wirelessly connect a second extender to your 6250. The second extender can broadcast the same SSIDs as the first. You can even set up both extenders to broadcast the same SSIDs as the 6250. If you can, use different Wi-Fi channels on the 6250 and both extenders to maximize performance.

Thank you! I plan to wirelessly connect both extenders to the 6250. I'd prefer they all used the same SSID - I did not know that was possible. Will look into that.
