How to organize wi-fi in the office?

There is a typical office in a small business center, about 80 sq.m and about 25 users
on the conditional office plan, you can see the location of the keenetic viva router. Two small rooms are separated by a partition, the glass partition is marked in blue.

In the side rooms, the signal is rather unstable. As in a typical office, all channels on 2.4 are clogged, because of this, low speed and unstable connection. 5 hertz seems to be better, but due to the relatively large distance and partitions of these rooms, the stability of 5 hertz is also lame.
It is necessary to cover the office with a stable wi-fi signal
. Will it be a good idea to put another keenetic in the office and connect it to the main one, forming a wi-fi system? Then how to arrange 2 routers relative to each other?
It is impossible to wire into the left room, and the main router can be moved a maximum of a couple of meters
. I considered another option. Instead of the main router from keenetic, put one router from Mikrotik, similar to Mikrotik RB4011iGS + 5HacQ2HnD-IN
Or a simple router from Mikrotik (Mikrotik hAP ac lite) + 2AP (Mikrotik cAP ac) and configure CAPsMAN, but how to place AP in this case?
And what will be the correct setting for the equipment, tk. it is clear that 2 points are redundant there and they will intersect 100%, and one is missing

For starters =)
Although I am a fan of ticks, and in my office everything is on ticks, including the waffle, but I give advice, look towards Ubiks. There, one point can cover all 80 squares, and 2 can do so in general ...

You take UNIFI of an access point, it is possible with POE. You put the controller of these points on any server. And you get a seamless finish. Everything is done in a couple of clicks, manuals wagon, more flexible settings.

Take the current keenetic line , they (unlike ubiks and ticks) are able to roam 802.11r/k/v. The prices are quite democratic, it starts up with a half-kick, you don’t need to install software somewhere (the controller rises on one of the devices).
The arrangement depends on the seating arrangement, exactly 1 router behind the glass (they shield very strongly from experience due to metallization), the second one would be placed closer to the third room, if the 1st or 3rd room is the boss's office, I would put it to him. Let him rejoice (and the brain does not do it).
PS Give up the "one router is enough for everyone" approach, in 2021, with the advent of cheap seamlessness, the number of APs is determined by the budget and geometry, and not "25 users for 2 TDs is redundant." I am now in a large apartment where you can find a point to cover one TD, I will put 2, so that the customer’s phones do not land overnight without charging.

Measure, measure and measure again. In your case it is better to use 2 wifi antennas than one strong one. Also note that a glass partition disrupts the signal just like a concrete wall.
