Thank you. I couldn't watch the video until the end. It will be a long little problem. Let's say I have 1 wifi modem and 3 wfi routers. If I use 3 different routers as a wifi range extender (repeater), I will get a good quality, stable and uninterrupted connection from the wifi that has been repeated 3 times. I tried this scenario by repeating the double, at least 2 times a day I have the problem of breaking and not being connected.
Also, would too many wireless devices have a health problem?

No, not at all...

...as you have already figured out.
The thread is about using access points from the business/pro line - this implies that a wired and switched Ethernet infrastructure is in place, or will be established, ideally using PoE/PoE+ to match the power requirements.

Who knows. Avoiding a wireless backhaul for repeaters - leaving alone the performance loss of your aged devices sharing the same radio for both - will allow to configure the access point distribution for much smaller areas, so called mini- or micro-cells where much lower power can be configured - so less emission, as only shorter distances have to be covered.
