How to combine 2pcs. Mikrotik wAP AC into one seamless access point in bridge mode?

Good day to all! I ask for help in setting up a network on Mikrotik wAP AC equipment .
At the facility, it was necessary to organize a “powerful” outdoor Wi-Fi network that would connect the client to the same subnet as the server inside the building. An Internet provider's cable enters the building into a Chinese router. A cable will be pulled from this router to the street, where it was decided to put a Mikrotik wAP outdoor access point . I mastered the configuration of this piece of iron in bridge mode, i.e. the provider's router distributes Wi-Fi inside the building, and Mikrotik on the street, while the names of the wireless networks are different, but, in fact, the clients connect to the same subnet. It would seem that everything is fine, the problem is solved.
[We forgot about the Chinese router and the wireless network inside the building, we will talk about organizing a street network, more precisely, about combining two access points into one.]
There was a problem - the power of Mikrotik wAP is not enough for the street. When you go to the other end of the territory, the signal disappears. After consultation with With the support of Mikrotik, it was decided to buy two new pieces of Mikrotik wAP AC hardware , the first one to be placed on the building at the site of the old wAP point , and the second one at the other end of the territory. WAP AC differs from a regular wAP in that it has two network broadcast bands - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. As I was told in those. support, having two Mikrotik wAP AC access points, you can set up a " seamless bridge”, i.e. connect two access points via a 5 GHz channel and distribute Wi-Fi at a purity of 2.4 GHz. With this setup, a client on the street will see and connect to the same wireless network (2.4 GHz), but physically switch between two access points that are interconnected over the air (5 GHz).
Question. How to set up "one shared" WiFi outdoors with one wireless network name, by combining two Mikrotik wAP AC access points so that they work in bridge mode with a router in the building, and the clients are on the same subnet? Thanks in advance for your replies.

1) get rid of the Chinese g, take a router from Mikrotik: as an example rb2011
2) setting up a capsman on the router
3) add your external points to the capsman
4) profit, you have a seamless grid with a single control system from the router
, well, set the sensitivity to transfer the client to another app
