“I don't intend to replace my router, but am interested in using these as potential extenders in my 3-story home. Do I need to connect the first device directly to my current router, or can I set all three up as access points?”

I believe that one needs to be connect to the router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I connected the first to the router. It worked well that way and ensured a good initial base signal for the mesh network without relying on translating the wireless signal from the router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need to first connect the device (one of the mesh extenders) to your existing router. These extenders need to get their internet signal from your router -- then they will "extend/amplify" it around your home. I've had them for about 9 months and they work great. Easy to set up and they are reliable. I previously had the FREE AT&T extenders and they work like crap.
