@Ivoncka Hello, 

 

If you want to use multiple REs, it is recommended to connect to no more than (<=) 2 range extenders to the router &   both range extenders connects to main router: 
Topology 1: RE )))(( Router )))(( RE2

 

If you want to wirelessly connect RE to another RE: 
Topology2:  Router ))  ((RE1 ))  ((( RE2 

 

Topology2 is theoretically possible, but not very recommended, in  double wireless bridges, the second RE's performance can not promised. 

You could consider topology 3: router ))(( RE1 --<Ethernet cable>-- RE2 (AP mode), and kindly note that RE2 should support AP mode. 

 

RE450 V2 and higer hardware version support AP mode.
