Expand wifi network - how?
Hello,
My network:
ER605 TL-R605 working as a router. It spreads network by LAN to 4 points in my house. In 1st point I have setup TP Link Archer AX72 PRO which works in Access Point mode and it spreads wireless network. Unfortunately it does not reach in some places so I want to spread another one in let's say 2nd point (linked to Router ER605).
How can I do so to have one wireless network and which hardware should I get. It would be great if it could also have LAN out ports.
Could you guys help me out? I thought I can get another router which can work as AP but i don't know if it would spread wifi with the same SSID.

Any home router model can be set in AP mode and configured with the same SSID as your existing AX72 Pro (connected to ER605 LAN port).

How can I do so? I don't see any options on Archer to do so. How can I set it up via router ER605?

Configuring a wireless router in AP mode and setting its SSID the same as in AX72 Pro can be done through the new router's WebGUI.
Configure the new router in AP mode and its SSID the same way you did that on your AX72 Pro.
You can't configure Archers through the ER605 because they are not part of the Omada solution, which ER605 is.
To be able to configure APs through ER605 you'll need EAPs and a controller - these are all part of the Omada solution.

" Do I get it correctly that I need another router as AP and setup the same way to get one wireless network from 2 different points? "
Yes, that's correct - two different APs but with the same SSID name would appear as one wireless network.
