Connecting more than one range extender
Is it possible to connect more than one range extender to my R6300v2 router? The ideal extender placement for 5G Roku feed does not provide adequate feed to tablets / smartphones in the living room. The ideal extender placement for the tablets / smartphones does not provide adequate 5G feed for the TV. Two extenders would solve the problem. Thanks for any input.
Right.

In principle, yes.
That's in principle, but to accomplish the second extender link, the page mywifiext.com has to somehow distinguish between the two EX6100's so that each one can be programmed. That's the issue -- unless an additional feature pops up in the mywifiext.com site to allow the user to address more than one Range Extender, this idea of a second extender may not work.... please let me know if this can be done and how.
The trick is to establish a connection with the extender that you want to set up, either through the extender's Wi-Fi signal or through its Ethernet port. mywifiext.com does not lead to any website on the Internet. It is intercepted by the extender, which will respond with its own IP address. The same technique is used for connecting to your own router using routerlogin.com.
