I have an AC1200 wired into my Ethernet and want it to act as a range extender so that everything is on the same wireless network vs having to switch between. What has to happen to do that?

What's the AC1200 device ? This should be printed on its bottom sticker.

If it's a router then you can use this guide to configure it in AP mode with the same SSID names as your main router.

This won't be a seamless roaming as in mesh networks and the smoothness will depend on your client devices.
