No WDS option in Archer C50 after firmware upgrade to 0.9.1 0.2 v0093.0 Build 200608 Rel.66307n

Hi,
I have a Archer C50 router and recently upgraded its firmware version to 0.9.1 0.2 v0093.0 Build 200608 Rel.66307n(4555). Now i do not see WDS option to enable another router as a repeater. Before the firmware upgrade, i had this option of WDS but after upgrade i do not see the option. Does anyone facing same issue? what is the resolution? How do i get WDS option to bridge another router as a repeater now.
Thanks,
Emmpi

I performed factory resets with both devices, set up everything again and now everything is working.
I do not know where the problem was but this doesn't matter anymore ;)
Thanks a lot for your help, br

Hello,
Do you mean the WDS bridging option is no longer visible after the firmware upgrade? Try to reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure it from scratch, then confirm again.
BTW, can I have a screenshot of the router bottom label, where displays its region version and SN, thanks.

Hello Kevin,
Thanks for your response. Resetting is a standard response for all issues. What's the use of new firmware release with some fixes when customer faces issues with upgrade and asked to reset again. Wouldn't we lose the updates? Anyways thanks your response. Also find attached requested screenshot.

Hi, in some rare cases that the router may run abnormally and we may encounter some issues when the upgrade doesn't go smoothly during the upgrading process, that's why we need to reset the router to its factory and reconfigure it from scratch to confirm.
Don't worry that the reset won't change the firmware back.

Hello, how about System Tools? Is there an option for System Parameters, where you may find the WDS?
If there is nowhere to find it, we will escalate your case to our engineers who will help check further, they may need to remotely confirm it.
Thanks.

Hello Kevin,
No WDS option under system tools also. Shud downgrade firmware version using a file and then try. Meanwhile you can also escalate this issue. Currently my router is on below version
0.9.1 0.2 v0093.0 Build 200608 Rel.66307n(4555)

Hello, can you find Range Extender mode on your Archer C50 web interface? If yes, then you can try to change it to the range extender mode, and it will connect to the main wireless via Wi-Fi, which performs just as the WDS function, thanks.

I tried this option already, but in my case the ethernet ports were not working in range extender mode.
Is it correct the ports are not supported in this mode / that it's a pure wifi extention?
Thanks and br
Franz
