Using range extenders in series

I would like to know if two range extenders can be used together in series?

Re: Using range extenders in series

Yes, I just did this myself. My main router is a nighthawk R8000. (upstairs). Then downstairs I have an EX6200 extending the signal which in turn I have extended via an EX2700. Speed will obviously drop, but by using EX6200's fastlane - extending the R8000 5Ghz channel to a 2.4Ghz channel and the EX2700 extending the 2.4Ghz channel, I am still able to get some pretty good speeds all the way at the other end.

This is how to enable fastlane technology.
