I have the 3 unit (1 Router, 2 Satellite) system and it works quite well.

 

However, my old solid house still has some poor signal areas and my wife doessn't want the units in obvious places.

I assume I can add another Satellite unit if I can find one, but there are a couple of router units being offered on eBay.

 

Is it possible to configure a 2nd router as a satellite unit only via backhaul?

 

Thanks

  @BritG1 They are available individually through Amazon or Best Buy for just under $140...

  @BritG1 I believe adding one or two more shouldn't be a problem.  (I would not recommend buying a 2nd hand unit in my opinion)...

  @jzchen I normally would agree, but so far Tp-link have not replied to my request for pricing of a single satellite unit.

  @BritG1 I was curious do you run Ethernet cables among these units?  If not you may consider adding XE75 (non-Pro) units, same AXE5400 but no 2.5 G Ethernet port, (which you don't need if you aren't gonna use them).

  @jzchen I bought the 3 unit pack. I try to avoid "essential" units being wireless, so the router is used with a managed switch. Of the 2 satellite units one is Ethernet wired and the other is wireless. That's why i'm looking for an extra standard 3 port satellite unit since it can't be Ethernet connected - the wife hates cables.
