On the diagram you can see my current setup, both routers are connected with LAN cable.
HAP ac^2 is set as network switch, no default config, all ports are added to the bridge, no DHCP server is running on it.
My question is how to set up the WiFi settings so it just extends the HAP AX^3 wireless network. The idea is the devices seamlessly switching between the routers so they use the strongest possible signal at all times?
Install wifi-qcom-ac on the hAP ac2 (as far as you haven’t yet). It’s part of the extra package.
Configure CAPsMAN on hAP AX3.

Thanks for the information, I was able to install wifi-qcom-ac on the hAP ac2 with netinstall, else it wasn’t working.
Now the problem is that trough the CAP device I can’t get IP address, when close next to the CAP WiFi i see -30db signal strength, so i guess its trying to connect trough the CAP wifi network.
