Hey there, I'm facing some issues with my network setup. The Wi-Fi signal in my living room is really weak, especially near the final bar, and I'm trying to expand it. I've already tried using a Wi-Fi extender, but it doesn't work well—signal remains too weak and I can't get a solid connection. I have a TP-Link Archer A7 and want to use its OneMesh feature, but it hasn't worked either. I'm considering connecting another router via LAN cable, but I don't want to set it up as an access point. I've tried that too, and my devices still stay on the lowest signal level, not switching or connecting properly when I move rooms. Any suggestions?

Acting as an Access Point shouldn't lead to weak signals since it matches the one in your main router. The issue might stem from a faulty unit, misaligned external antennas, or insufficient connection distance. External factors like poor placement or incomplete installation could also play a role. Rely less on the number of bars shown by WiFi; it doesn't accurately reflect signal strength.
