at each room I want to also connect a switch to connect items that need Ethernet cables and also connect the access points to those switches in a couple of rooms. One in the first floor and one in the second floor and the main router (R6700) will be in the basement.
You are asking a lot of an R6700. That's a mid range and now slightly old (2018 with its origins in 2014) router.
What do you want to do on all these connections?
Agree with michaelkenward on his R6700 comments. Replace your R6700 and turn your R6700 into an access point.
Depending on your needs, Netgear makes a couple of plain access points. In the AC arena, look at the WAC124. In the AX arena, look at the WAX204.
