Can I connect 2 routers to Nighthawk AC2200
Hello I have purchased and connected the Nighthawk AC 2200 extender to my xfinity advanced gateway router. I also have a Linksys EA 6100 connected to my Xfinity router. Can I connect the Linksys also...

The Xfinity gateway just says X-fi Xfinity advanced gateway.
The Linksys router is EA6100. It has four ethernet ports. The Linksys settings says "bridge mode" if that helps any.
The extender is the Nighhawk x4 AC2200. I believe the AC2200 means only distance not speed.

So the linksys is acting as an access point.
without knowing which xfinity router you have its tough to tell you which to connect it to. Reason why is the linksys is an AC1200. Unknown what the xfinity is. You could try it with each to see which performs better.
