I'd like to double boost my internet. I have a belkin range extender. the one that looks like a router, i've been using that for a while but its so slow because its not that close to the router. I picked up a netgear extender last night the one that plugs into the wall. I put that in between my router and my belkin, connected the belkin all to it and the belkin does not have internet access. Its limited. But if i cannot wireless to the netgear it works fine, but the belkin wont work unless its connected to the the actual router.

Wireless repeaters greatly degrade the speed you get. Even if it were possible using 2 would likely make the signal unusable. Because of how a protocol called WDS works you can not connect a repeater to a repeater.

You are almost always better off using a weak signal directly from the router than a strong signal that has been though a repeater. You would only use a repeater when your options are no signal from the router or a strong but slower signal from the repeater.
