Hi,

I have a particular physical setup that requires me to extend an extender. 

Will the TL-WA850RE extender allow a next hop (repeater) to connect to it in it's default mode? (or would it need to be setup with WDS mode)?

If so can I do this with a router in repeater mode , or AP mode? Or can I just get another small extender? 

e.g. could I extend it with this one? 

TP-Link TL-WA850RE Wireless N300 Range Extender

Or this one

TP-Link TL-WA801N Wireless N300 Access Point

The first time I tried to extend the extender over to an old asus router but it didn't support repeater mode, and I could not figure out WDS bridging (although I'm not sure if the asus actually supported that anyway). 

The reason I want to extend the extender, rather than use a router repeater for the first hop and then connect to the extender is just because it's location is going into a kitchen and the kitchen owner wants minimum invasion. 

Thanks
