Is it possible to 'piggyback' a WN3000RP Extender?

Is it possible to 'piggyback' a WN3000RP Extender?  I have several extenders.  Is it possible to use one to extend the range of my WiFi to another extender.  Now I get a solid red light on Router Link LED.

Thanks for any information.

    Yea you are able to do this but it is not recommend as it can cause issues such as speed and performance issues in your network.

      Thanks for the info.  Sounds like it may not be worth the effort.
