Best way to extend network
I just purchased a TP-LINK AXE7800 router and TP-LINK TLWA 3001 access point to create a strong network signal so that I can install wifi security cameras around the property. I have a large house with three floors. The main floor I placed the AXE7800 router and on the basement floor the access point. I contacted them through a cat 7 ethernet cable. I access point mode it has a strong signal but creates a different ssid. The cameras all have to be on the same network. When I set it up in range extender mode it also asks to set up a different ssid basically the same as router plus ext on the end. If I conect to access point Lan port and turn off DHCP and use the same IP address as router with different client ID, will that give me one network to connect to that is strongest signal or should I use another AXE7800 router instead of the access point?
