Daisy Chain

Following an upgrade of speed using Vodafone Gigabyte broadband, the router they provided (THG3000) has an extremely poor WiFi signal meaning my existing single extender no longer did the job.

Having installed a second TP-Link extender at their recommendation, I found I could no longer use them with the same SSID as the router meaning I had to keep manually turning off and on the WiFi on my devices in order to switch between them, which I do not want to do.

I want a system where I can extend the WiFi signal and use the one SSID throughout my property.

I believe a WiFi 6 mesh is the way to go to achieve this and I have selected the EX7500 extender.

As the signal across my house is too weak and I can't relocate the server without a lot of problems, I want to daisy chain them.

Can I do this with this device? Amazon feedback suggests you can't, even though this is supposed to be a mesh component. I don't want the same situation as I have with the TP-Link non-meshed extenders.

Will the Netgear WiFi 6 mesh (each manufacturer appears to have their own name for this standard) work with an Asus RT-AX58U router which is alos WiFi6 compatible, or will there be contention between the manufacturer's standards?

And, no I don't want to use an ugly Netgear router! It may look sciency, but this has to go into my home, which is not a death star!
