Model: Archer A2  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

So I'm a little confused by what I saw of the setup. 

 

If I have a router set up now that has functioning WiFi (SSID BadBoy)  .. and I plug my AC1750 into one of it's Ethernet ports, access the AC1750 and set it up as an access point .. will it extend my existing WiFi (BadBD for use when a device connects to that access point?

What the A7 is doing is providing a wireless network from where it is located. Devices that connect to the A7 will be on the same network as your main wireless router. 

 

So you will have a wireless network broadcasting from your main router, and a wireless network broadcasting from the A7, but no matter which one you connect to, they will all be on the same network and be able to talk to each other.
