Basic wired bridge from AC68U to N66U

Kldavi

New Around Here
I need help setting up my home network, My wife and I both work from home and need wifi in two locations (office in main house and 2nd office in studio apartment next door). The modem is in the studio apartment, I have an ASUS RT-AC68U there. This is connected via Cat6 to an ASUS N66U in the main house (100' distance). The only AC user is a (June 2014) MacBook Pro used primarily in the studio. In non-technical language, how should this system be configured to provide a single network to both locations. Currently they are showing as two separate wireless networks.
Background: The RT-N66U was originally the only router. I recently added the AC68U.
All help is appreciated.

Put the N66U in to "AP Mode"

Most people have the best luck using different/unique SSIDs for all bands.
Example:
main24
main5
studio24
studio5
