EAX80 connect to EAX80 for extened wireless range

[roberthleeii]

Can I connect a EAX80 to another EAX80 to extend the wireless internet even farther away from the main house?

Can you? yes. 

Should you? probably not. Reason why is that extenders by their very nature reduce bandwidth and increase latency. this is because they have to recieve and retransmit. Its made worse for everytime you add an extender into the chain.

this is mitagated a bit by using fastlane but can still reduce speeds and add latency. 

Another potential issues is that if you're using the same ssid as the primary router, the extenders can sometimes connect to each other and "loop" because they're not connected to the router anymore. this is mitagated a bit by using unique ssid's when daisy chaining them. 

If you're needing to go to far the methods that can help would be:

Paying the $ and running an ethernet wire

Powerline

Orbi can potentially work

MoCa adapters

or even a point to point system like netgear's airbridge.
