One router, two extenders, one network?

One router, two extenders, one network?

I have a wpn824v2 and two wn3000rp in my three floor house. One extender on ground and second, and the router in the middle.
Can I have this set up with one name, one password, where computers, pads or phones that move around in the house automatically select the best connection without me having to change "network"?
