Can i use 2 wifi extender?

Question

I currently have one&nbsp;NETGEAR&nbsp;EX6110-100UKS WiFi Range Extender - AC 1200, Dual-band that works perfectly. However, i need another to boost the wifi inanother part of the house. If i was to buy another extender and connect it in the same way will I be able to connect both? Also, will it impact the speed ofthe connection?&nbsp;&nbsp;

If you're going router-----&gt;Extender1------&gt;extender2 &nbsp; &nbsp; then yes it will impact speed. Reason why is extends by the nature of how they work have to receive and retransmit the signal. This cuts their throughput in half and increases latency. Add in a 2nd extender and the extender at the end of the chain will be at 25% throughput.&nbsp;a star configuration works better.For example: &nbsp;&nbsp; Extender1&lt;----------router----------&gt;extender2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
