Another House Wifi configuration

[Brolloks]

Hi,

I've been following squirrels setup and have to propose something along the same line... but different.

My brother is remodelling and has already gone to the stage of hardwiring with CAT 7 (yes CAT 7) 15 points all over the 2 storey house ending in a cupboard.
Breakdown as per the image below:
PoE or Non PoE switch still to be determined: suggestions that won't break the bank?
7 x PoE Cameras
Incoming is Telkom FTTH with the standard Huawei ADSL Router in the study also to be used as an AP for the area
Existing hardware from past locations to be reused as far as possible. Asus DSL-N66U and Zyxel AMG1312-T10B
One Additional AP to be acquired, possibly looking at one of the Ubiquiti Unify units.
One Gigaset A510 IP phone to be connected somewhere, most likely in the study?

My question is can this work according to the diagram?

Should work fine, I personally would sell the current AP's and replace them with Ubiquiti Unify units. Will be much easier to manage them that way. But I suppose you want to use the ethernet ports on some of the AP's? Or are they purely to provide wireless access?

Thanks!

Personally I would want to use the unify units but with the remodelling at the moment costs are going up and if there's hardware available it could be put to use in the meantime.

For the time being I think they will only be used for the AP features but things could change.

As an experiment I've started to mess around with the setup and I'm testing as follows

Main ADSL router is the Telkom HG532F (port LAN 4) with LAN IP 10.0.0.2 connected to Telkom's Huawei ONT.

The router I'm testing with is a TP-Link TD-W8970 v3
I have set it to:
Operation Mode: Wireless Router Mode
Network WAN: Default, Connection Type Dynamic IP
Network LAN Settings: IP 10.0.0.3, SM 255.255.255.0, DHCP Server Disabled

The TP-Link has a LAN4/WAN port. I assumed that I use this to connect back to the Telkom router but read somewhere that you should not use the WAN port.

I've now managed to get a second pc connected to the TP-Link and can get only. All set with DHCP.

Next question since this is the point of this experiment:
The TP-Link will need to function as an AP firstly. Since I can get online via wired network I assume traffic is going ok.

Do I setup the TP-Link with the same settings as the main Telkom router or entirely different settings as if it was a completely different AP. All the devices will then have to be setup at least once on the new AP.

I've read that you can setup AP's to automatically hand over as you move around but assume this only happens with WDS?
