The possibility of having two N300 Wifi Extenders?
So our router gets great signal around our house, but for some reason our little streaming stick devices that plug into an hdmi port have a hard time getting signal. Laptops and consoles work just fine, so I assume the wifi antennas on those streaming devices are garbage. I bought the N300 extender and with it in the same room as the streaming devices it works like a charm. Also, when I connect the extender in the furthest room it still gets every bit of the same bandwidth as the router. Now my question is can I have two extenders on the same router or would I have to have it setup as such: router>extender>extender or how would this be accomplished?

Hi,
You can add more then one extender direct to the same router, ideally from locations where all three devices (router, two extenders) can "see" each other.
Netgear does suggest using dedicated SSIDs (network names) for each extender to avoid confusion.
Set-up a daisy chain - nothing is blocking you form this set-up) - will lead to a performance impact.
