Wifi help required please

Hi there first time posting on one of these things but need some extra brains ! So the scenario is the following two very large apartments first apartment has a router and 2 access points, one room in the other apartment receives 2/3 bar wifi reception in one room ... So trying to do the following connect a access point over wifi to the upstairs Internet and then daisy chain 2 access points off the access point which is connected via wifi .... Can this be done and how ?

Today I tried to connect wirelessly but the router I had an Asus RT88U only allows it to be done via a media bridge which connected fine and I had internet traffic via cable but when I connect access point to the media bridge it doesn't get an IP address and doesn't work can this not be done via a media bridge? Do I need another type of bridge ? Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

You can try WiFi Repeaters, they are pretty straightforward to set up, you must ask your local hardware shop to give you signal extenders though, You can then use an app on a smart phone called wifi analyzer and walk away from the router untill the signal gets to medium and add a repeater close-by, hope this helps.

Can I connect an access point to a repeater though ?
