Need range extender for AC68U

[ryarber]

I have a large house and I need an extender for one side of the house. I do have gigabit Ethernet throughout the house, so wiring it in wouldn't be a problem.

What do y'all recommend? Something like an AC56U?

Since you are going to connect it via Gigabit Ethernet, you can use most anything.

Do you create another ssid or are there devices out there that will allow seamless transitions from ap to ap?

You can use the same SSID's and the client can handle switching between AP's, but the preferred method is to have separate SSID's so you can pick the optimal AP depending on your location in the house.

Separate channels as well?
