Netgear R6220 connecting second router

I currently use a Deco mesh router that came with 3 units. I live in a ranch so I have a unit at each end of the house and one in the middle. But it's still not strong enough at the end of the house ...

You can but you need to set it up right as cascading routers can cause issues.

So if you go:

modem---->deco---->netgear  

then you'd want the netgear in access point mode.

If you go:
