Question on mesh network setup in house
Hi all! I'm planning to setup a mesh with Amplify HD Mesh system. My plan is to get one box with router and 2 antennas and one additional router. In my house I have thick reinforced concrete walls and floors that's why I want to add an additional router and set it to work in bridge mode (hope that's possible).
With my mad paint skills I've created this picture of how I want my setup to work - attached.
So my questions are:
- is it possible to have R1 as a main router and R2 as bridge connected with cable?
- will A2 propagate stronger WiFi signal it gets from R2 or weaker from R1 (if it gets any at all)?
Thanks!

Your question is probably better suited to r/AmpliFi. Plenty of users on there that may be able to shed some light. By like others have stated if you can wire multiple access points together that would probably be better. In saying that, the Amplifi system has the option for ethernet backhaul which allows you to connect multiple base stations together.
