You can daisy chain extenders. It usually isn't recommended but if you're going to do it, using the triband extenders is the best ones to do it with. When you setup the 2nd one, during setup, uncheck the "extend 2.4gh network". You'll still be able to use 2.4ghz but it won't use it as a failover for the backhaul. Helps with speeds/stability with daisy chaining.
