Bridge mode is probably the best option here as this will let you use your existing switches and single Ethernet wall sockets. If you want to have separate IP addressing for the Wi-Fi devices, you will either need to run a separate Ethernet connection to each room or use wireless backhaul, i.e. only only connect the primary MW6 WAN socket to your network.
From what I am aware of, Bridge mode is only available after you complete the setup wizard in the Tenda App. To first set up the MW6's for the first time, connect the WAN port of one MW6 to the router and do not connect any network port of the secondary nodes. Go through the Tenda setup wizard, selecting the DHCP option. After you complete the setup wizard, go into Internet Settings -> Connection Type and change this to Bridge, then touch 'Save'. Wait a few minutes to allow the MW6 nodes to restart with the new configuration, then disconnect the power to them, attach only the LAN socket of each node to the switches like below and turn on the power to all the nodes.
