WiFi Range

Can you connect more than one range extender to the same router?

    You can. 

    I'd recommend doing it in a star pattern and not daisy chained though. 

    Star: extender<--------router------->extender

    daisy chain: router------->extender------>extender

     

    reason why is standard extenders take a 50% speed hit just based off how they function. So by the 2nd hop, its best possible speed is 25% of what the router has.
