Daisy chaining the mesh extender using the "onessid" function can end up causing issues. I always recommend if people are needing more than 1 extender to move to a full mesh setup like orbi.
Reason why is that there isn't a router controlling the connection so the extenders can end up connecting to each other and not to the router.
The way around that is to disable "onessid" fuction on one of the extenders so they don't connect to each other and loop.

So basically Netgear shouldn't label those devices as "Mesh" if canno't do what 802.11s describes :/
Don't you agree?- plemansMar 23, 2020Guru - Experienced User
No I don't agree.
Its a "mesh extender" not a fully mesh system.
and extenders aren't recommended past 1 extender regardless of if you run mesh or standard

So it should be able to do what 802.11s describe https://www.academia.edu/21587927/IEEE_802.11s_The_WLAN_Mesh_Standard
Let me remember you that your advertising page is showing a daisy chain for yor EX extendershttps://www.netgear.it/landings/mesh-wifi-extenders/
Your product shouldn't labeled "mesh"
Mesh networks (BT/wifi/proprietary) work differently.
