What is the optimal access point for my situation?

There are several two-story wooden houses connected by a twisted pair cable (that is, the points will be indoors).
I would like Wi-Fi to appear in every house, and ideally, an access point would distribute Wi-Fi and connect the next house. The cable came in, distributed, went out, like this:

...DHCP server... - house #1 (port #1 - Wi-Fi - port #2) - house 2 (port #1 - Wi-Fi - port #2) - ...

You can have more than two ports, but two is the minimum, it turns out. You need gigabit ports.
I'm thinking between these options:
  • cAP ac
  • hAP ac²

Tell me please:
  1. What access point do you recommend? (you can also have your own version with a comment "why")
  2. Do both of these boxes support the ability to transmit further (called "bridge mode"?)?
  3. Optional: What to consider?

Not a very good idea in my opinion.
If everything is done in such a cascade, then any break will turn off all the others.
Well, the speed with pings will be smeared.
I would advise you to sit down again and weigh everything. It is better if each house has its own cable.
Another option is to throw a cable to a distant house, put another router and throw it further from it.
If you'll take a lot of routers, it may make sense to do POE at once.
It all depends in the end on the number of TDs, and houses and the distance between them.
To recommend something so universal and optimal without a clear understanding of what and how difficult it is.

1. Suitable for both CAP and HAP. Normal full-fledged routers. Connect according to Kapsman.
2. Why do you need bridge mode if you have a wired bus? A bridge is when there is no cable between the points, but everything turns out quite beautifully for you.
3. Do not create a very long chain. 5-6 points per branch, no more otherwise you will row blunts. Try to locate the core of the network in the center
