Re: wifi extenders have a WN3000RP if I purchase another extender will they communicate with each ot
If the WN3000RP is near the desktop (or can be moved there), all you need to do is connect the desktop to the extender's ethernet port.
Otherwise, you have two options:
(a) purchase a wifi adapter for the desktop
(b) connect a second extender to the desktop's ethernet (basically using it as an adapter).
If you use (b) - the preferred setup is to configure both extenders to join the router wifi network. However, if the second extender can't reach the router (or has poor throughput) then you can configure it to join the first extender's network.
