And they can't do both at the same time. so they take a 50% speed reduction because of that. Its the whole reason for the line of triband extenders/mesh systems in that the dedicated backhaul stops that reduction. 

And can two extenders work with the same router under different EXT suffixes?----yes but if you're needing more than 1 extender, I usually advise people to move to an actual mesh system like Orbi or MK nighthawk.
