I wouldn't recommend daisy chaining them. 

Daisy chain means going router------>extender------>extender

That 2nd extender would only be running at 25% speed. 

instead go: 

Extender<--------router----------->extender

Thanks for the response.  I agree that I do not want to daisy chain them.  I have not been able to connect the second extender to the router.  The New Extender Setup will ot come up again to connect the second extender.

    power off the first connected extender. Then factory reset the extender that won't connect (push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while powered on). Then attempt to setup the 2nd extender. 

    Are you using wps or using the installation assistant?
