Additional R7000 - Use as Access Point, Bridge or WDS?

[Mastiha]

I wanted to extend the reach of my wireless.

If I were to purchase another R7000, would it be best to set it up as an access point, bridge or WDS?

Interested in the same answer.

I just bought 2 because I can't get 5ghz throughout the whole house. I have one set up as an AP but I ended up disabling 2.4ghz on one as it was causing my Nest to disconnect. Other then that I did several unofficial benchmarks and the nighthawk out performs my dual Asus AC1750 by a decent margin.

I would set it up as an Access Point, personally.

Using a hardwire connected access point is always the best way to extend wireless coverage.
