Network extender via lan

[MaFi0zZz]

Hey guys , i am having some trouble managing my network. The wifi signal i s too week in my living room(just on the final bar) and i am looking to extend my network. I hace already tried the wifi extender option but the signal is too weak and i am not able to get a decent connection. I have no way of placing the extender halfway. ( i have a tp link archer a7) and am looking to use thier OneMesh function but with no success. I am looking for a variant to use another router and connect it via lan cable, but DO NOT WANT TO MAKE IT AN ACCESS POINT. I have already tried that variant and the signal on my devices stays on the lowest bar and does NOT disconnect or transfer to the other router when i switch rooms. Is there a way to do this

Being an Access Point wont have caused the weak signal, as its identical to the Access Point built into your main router.

Either it being faulty, external antennas angled badly or not fully plugged in, or not having it close enough to your device is the only thing that could cause that.

You can mostly ignore how many bars WiFi shows, this is not a good measure of signal quality.
