Can extenders or mesh nodes "daisy chain"?
My cable WiFi router is at one end of the house and cannot easily be moved. There are many rooms in the house which are too far from the router. I have a WN3000RP extender which is not powerful ...
Can they? If you set them up right they can.
Would I recommend it? No.
If you're needing more than 1 extender, its better to move to an actual mesh system like orbi. You'll have better speeds, seamless roaming, more stability, and the ability to upgrade/add satellites as needed.
Mesh extenders work but have more issues once you're running more than 1.
Thanks for your reply. I'm interested in Orbi, but do all Orbi nodes need to connect to the primary router? If they all need to be connected to the primary router then I'm not sure they're going to be able to throw the signal to the far end of the house which is furthest from the router.
Can they daisy chain off eachother, or do they all need to connect to the primary router??
