Extending 2.4 GHz only?
I have a TP-Link WiFi 6 router with three Tapo devices on the network that are far enough away from the router to need a 2.4 Ghz extender. Should I, could I extend the WiFi signal using a TP-Link 2.4 Ghz extender? Which model extender? Mesh? Non-Mesh?

I would be sure that the SSIDs are different.
I would use a extender (not mesh) since I assume the cams will be fixed, use the 5 GHz for the connection between the router and extender, the 2.4 for the connection between the extender and the devices, and place the extender about half way between the router and the devices so the extender gets a good signal with both the router and devices.

@ArcherC8 Important factors to consider. Using a 5 GHz range extender connected to the router, with only the 2.4 GHz band enabled. Unique SSID. Thanks so much.

No more than your Neighbor's wifi would. Just use a different SSID. WIFI has many channels and works fine even when multiple routers/Extenders are on the same channel.
