Can you add a booster to an existing Wi-fi extender?

Netgear makes a whole range of wifi extenders.

WiFi Boosters & Extenders | Wifi Range Extenders | NETGEAR

But depending in what you want to achieve there may be other options.

It  might help to start by telling people what router you are using now and what you want to achieve.

I have a Night hawk AC 1900 dual band now and would like to increase range further.

Which Netgear device is it?

AC1900 is not a unique Netgear model number. (Netgear lists a dozen or so of those.) Many devices come with the AC/AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.

Look at the label on the device for the Model Number. And, if there is one, include the "V" bit to show the hardware version. If there is no V number, then you have V1.

I never recommend using more than 1 extender if you're using a single or dual band extender. Reason why is the single/dual band extenders drop throughput (speed) 50% of what they receive. This happens because they have to use the same chip to go router----extender and then extender----devices. And it can't do both at once. Add in interference and distance, and that 50% speed reduction from the router can be starting at a significantly lowered point. So you might be only at 20-40% of the routers speed. Then you add a 2nd extender and go through that same thing. 

The only time it really works is if you avoid daisy chaining them. 

Daisy chain: router---->extender----->extender

you want them in a star configuration

Star: Extender<----------router----------->extender

And if you have them setup in a mesh, you need to make sure the extenders are out of each others range or they can end up connecting to each other. 

usually if people are needing more than 1 extender, I advise them to move to a full mesh system like Orbi or MK nighthawk. And go with the triband version if you're needing more than 1 satellite
