Any tips on how to configure the AXE5400 mesh system with the AT&T Gig Fiber modem?

I'm moving on from a Ubiquity router and Spectrum coax modem I have grown to truly despise. The fiber has been installed and is great.

I have a small Ubiquity router and four 'flying saucer' access points (22 wi-fi clients and a bunch of wired gear like desktops, laptop, printer, streaming devices, consumer entertainment gear) that I moved from the Spectrum modem to the AT&T fiber modem by just moving the CAT6 cable to the router over so I had zero down time. The AT&T modem is in passthrough mode.

Works OK, but there are holes in the coverage (3 story 90 year old lath-n-plaster house that tends to be hard on wifi signal range). I'm far more concerned about coverage than data speed (we don't stream stuff to our two phones but do use wi-fi calling because cell service sucks from all carriers here).

So I bought the AXE5400 mesh system with three nodes and want to get that set up.

Before I reinvent the wheel several times while setting it up, anyone with the same or similar setup care to give some words of advice on setup/configuration?

Much appreciated.

Is there a way to globally change the wi-fi access info for my 22 TPLINK/TAPO devices?

About to change out my old wi-fi system with a new AXE5400 6E mesh system, and want to change the system's previous wi-fi login name, password, and IP range. Is there a way to change that info globally in the app so I don't have to reinstall all 22 of my devices?

Thank you.
