AC750 Wi-Fi range extender, using 2 of them at the same time??
Can 2 AC750's be used on the same home wi-fi network at the same time?
I have one in the kitchen but that one doesn't get to the other end of the house so I'm wondering if a second one could be used to pick up the signal from the first AC750 so I can get the whole house covered.

It's not recommended to wirelessly connect one extender to another extender. The reason is that each extender imposes a 50% penalty in performance, so clients connecting to the second extender will see a 75% penalty. This will probably be unacceptable.
If you have coax outlets then consider using MoCA as a wired network and attach your extenders to it to operate as Access Points. Powerline is another option although results can be very hit and miss.

Multimedia over Coax. It's a networking protocol for use over coax cable. If you don't have coax then don't bother. You would be better off installing Ethernet than coax.

There's no need to change the default names. The two extenders can even broadcast the same SSID.
What the extenders must avoid, however, is broadcasting the same SSID as the main router's SSID. Otherwise, they may connect to each other instead of the router.
