I'd highly recommend against using 3x extenders together.
Even more so if you're planning on daisy chaining them (connect 1 extender to the next).
I usually tell people, if they're needing more than 1 extender, to switch over to an actual mesh system like orbi or the MK system.
Extenders work great, but when you're using more than 1, it can cause instabilities/performance issues.
It might cost more to go with a mesh system but it pays off in terms of stability/speeds.
