"This helps prevent the extenders from connecting to each other".
A mesh network topology by definition supports connections between all nodes, rather than just a connection to the router (which would make it a star topology).
Are you saying that Netgear Mesh Extenders don't support the basics of mesh topologies?

Its a mesh extender. meaning it uses the same ssid as the router without a controller. You can't just buy an extender and expect to suddenly have your whole system mesh and to function like a true mesh system. If you want a full mesh system then buy a mesh system like orbi/eero/etc. Otherwise, you're stuck using an extender that merely copies the ssid and lets the device control which signal it connects to.
they work great with single extender setups.
I've always recommended that if people need more than 1 extender, they need an actual mesh system and not the extender setup.
