Sounds like you need to enable 802.1r for fast roaming between APs on both access points and then make sure the SSIDs are the same.
Also, you can improve things by splitting your 2.4ghz, 5ghz, and 6ghz (if applicable) onto separate SSIDs, with your phone connected to the 5ghz band. Since it has lower range, it will likely roam better because the signal from one to the other will be more "apparent" to your devices.
I have the 5 and 2.4 split. I can't give the extender the same SSID because I need my backyard security cameras to connect only to that one
I don't think the extender gives me the ability to split anything.
Not sure what kind of Extender it is, but if it can run OpenWRT, you can flash it to that and have more control.
Question here, why do the cameras I need to only connect to that one? Using an extender won't create a truly separate net, some might create a NAT to look separate but you can still connect from the extenders net to the host net.
