I don't recommend using more than 1 extender without switching to a full mesh system like Orbi or the MK nighthawk series.
Extenders are great at what they do but if you're needing 2-3 of them, its better to have a mesh system with something controlling it.
You can add a mesh system like orbi/MK to your R6350 and run the mesh system in access point.

I have an Orbi Mesh system sitting in AP mode behind an R7800 router. Works fine.
I don't even have to turn off the wifi from the R7800, but it can help to reduce wifi congestion and confusion.
