Can I use 2 N300 extenders on the same network?
I think this has been asked/answered but wish to clarify. I have a WNDR3700 router in my 'computer room' along with a N300 extender in my garage and it seems to work fine. I would like to use a sec...

Thank you. I have an R7000 router now conected to a 2500RP extender in the media room now. It's in "Internet Surfing Mode" with both 2.4 and 5GHz bands at the same time. I tried configuring it both Fastlane Technology modes but I can't get connected devices ot see it regardless of which mode I set it to. I would have thought the mode "Device-to-extender in 2.4GHz only and extender-to-router in 5GHz only mode would give better service than the combined modes but it has trouble connecting to the router in 5GHz mode even though the R7000 router is set to broadcast in both modes.
5 GHz has less range than 2.4 GHz. It's possible that the extender is too far from the R7000 to get a clean 5 GHz signal.
