Can 2 WN3000RP be connected in series?

I have 2 WN3000R and would like to connect them in series.

 

The Cisco router is upstairs in my office.

The first WN300RP is in the living room

The second would be on the porch.  

 

Is it possible to connect in series to get a stronger signal on the porch?  Or can both be connected to thee same router?

 

Thanks for your help.

Re: Can 2 WN3000RP be connected in series?

You can connect them in series. it increases latency and decreases speeds. I've also notice an increase in instability when you're daisy chaining extenders. 

Make sure you make each ssid unique as well for the best results. 

Just my 2 cents on the matter but when you start needing more than 1 extender, its time to look at mesh networks for their seemless operation and roaming.
