Piggyback an extender?
I have an AC1900 EX6400v2 connected and want to know if I can add another one in a detached garage 100 ft away to piggyback the signal stronger into the garage?
I don't ever recommend daisy chaining extenders. A standard single/dual band extender drops throughput 50% (of what its getting) plus increases latency. When you daisy chain, the 2nd looses another 50% of what its getting so its going to be less than 25% of the router. Plus add in the additional latency.
You CAN do it provided you go into it with the expectation of what performance penalty and latency penalty you'll take.
