Good day!
I have a ONT GPON 2516 as my router, that is connected to a switch then this goes to a Archer C9 and a Powerline TL-PA8010P. The other side of the powerline is a TL-PA8030P that goes to a TL-WR740N

I have both the Archer and the WR740N as AP. The channels being used are 1, 6 and 11. My question here is some zones are still getting poor signals,but if i use another AP it might overlap in some places, so would be ok to try another AP ? Or is not worth it ?

You already get overlap. The concept of 1,6,11 is pretty much no longer valid. Because almost all router now use 40mhz channels on 2.4g and there is only 60mhz total you can't fit 2 devices without overlap.

Pretty much you just try another AP. You likely already have signals coming in from neighbors overlapping. It will likely work better than trying to get the weak signals but like most wifi things you will actually have to try it out because your house is different from other peoples.
