Daisy-chaining with an AC1200

Greetings all, just purchased an AC1200 and it's working a treat; simple query, it's not quite hitting the far-reaches of my property. The issue is a bedroom that is located over a hanging carport so lots of structural steel and reinforced concrete in the way!

Does anyone know for sure if I can 'daisy-chain' another AC1200 to extend the range?

The second AC1200 would be sited directly above the first one (ground floor) with little/no interfence between the two.

Thanks in advance

Re: Daisy-chaining with an AC1200

The A6210 is a USB wifi adaptor, and not an extender.  Please provide the correct extender model number.

 

It is possible to daisy chain extenders, but there is a loss of throughput.  Powerline networking might be a better option for you (in particular the PLW1000).  That would connect to your router over your house wiring, and provide wifi for the bedroom.
