Need some expert help pls.
I have a nokia XS-240X-A and a wifi 7 router set up in living room. My pc is in a room beside but there are walls and cupboards blocking so the speed is like 100mbps. With the door closed, the speed dropped by half. There is no way to run an ethernet cable in as the door is too tight.

So I am thinking to use my old wifi 6 router to "expand" the wifi coverage. I can connect an ethernet cable from the nokia to the wifi 6 but it has the same ssid as the wifi 7 (set up by tech last time). How do I even enter this router mode to change it to AP mode? Google says AP mode would help. I am not really sure.

I am able to enter the 10g pon home gateway page but I can only see all the nokia stuff there. No router stuff.
