Model: RE230  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

We purchased 2 extenders, and they don't seem to be helping at all, though I'm able to connect to them. Open to any suggestions on troubleshooting and/or moving the devices, etc.

If you have two extenders you would not want them connected to each other, but instead both connecting to the main router. If you chain them, you will severely lower the speed. Another thing I would recommend is for the extender to use a different network name. This will avoid confusion in believing you are connected to the near by extender when the device is actually connected to the router further away.
