Multiple Nighthawk X4/X4s?

Hello,

 

I have one Nighthawk X4 EX7300 extender connected to my FIOS cable modem.  I want to add another X4 or X4s extender to expand my WiFi network.  Can this be done?  Is there a limite of how many extenders can be meshed together?

 

Thanks.

    Yes you can have multiple extenders but it is best to connect them to the router and not to daisy chain the extenders.

      Thanks Darren,

       

      I set my X4 to "EXTENDER" mode so, it's neither daisy chained nor hard wired to my WiFi Cable modem.  Can I just add another X4 set to "EXTENDER"mode in another part of the house that is not well covered by my current WIFI network?  I only have one Verizon FIOS WiFi cable model and one X4 connected via WiFi in "extender" mode.

       

      Take care,
