Hi Luke_G,
Thanks for your question. Yes, If you have multiple X6S, you can connect them to get a larger network one behind another. The downstream X6S would be connecting its backhaul to the fronthaul of the upstream X6S, thus sharing it's connection with other devices. The benefit here is that you can continue using the single ssid and range would be better than just using one.
Another option is to connect in Access point mode where you can continue using the downstream tri-band radios simultaneously.
