But I can't tell if that's just crazy talk...
Here's a link on this forum, that discusses the R8000 and EX7000, in the configuration you are looking for. The thing with the extender, is that you will need decent wireless signal between both devices, so you may have to move your devices around, until you have a strong wireless signal between the two devices.

would it work to have two routers possitioned part way towards both ends?
Can one cable feed two routers?

when I bought my r8000, I was told the range was 450 feet. but I 'm not sure.
I would like to supply two houses with one cable. Anyone know if I could put a splitter on and run a cable to both houses from the same souce? I am in the country and have to put up an antenna to pick up a bug tussel signal.
