multiple networks AC3000

I have  the extender on the first floor, and the router on the second.  There is a WiFi network associated with each, but my mobile devices only recognize one network at a time.  So when I'm near the WiFi extender, I switch my tablet to that network for excellent speeds; but when I carry that tablet upstairs, it stays connected to the Extender network and has slow speeds.  I have to manually switch it to the router's network for faster speeds.

 

Can I get the network to act as a single network, and not require manual switching from network to network?
