Failed to connect Archer C6 as a signal Extender / Access point to my ADSL TPLink Router / Modem
I live in an area NOT served by Fiber Optic and therefore connect via Telephone lines (ADSL).
I am currently using TP-LINK TD-W8961N 300Mbps ADSL modem/router for my internet connection. However the signal does not reach far corner of my home so I got Archer C6 router to use it as an signal extender / access point.
Now the problem is that I am struck in terms of trying to connect my Archer C6 as an additional access point. I was told that it is possible to connect C6 (as an extender/ access point) to my primary TP-link ADSL modem/router using WDS bridge.
I have broken my head but still could not figure it out.
Appreciate if someone can please show me the way.

Hello,
This Archer C6 is mainly designed to work as a wireless router, thus signal extender is not the main feature of it. While if you have already purchased it, we can try to configure it as a signal extender as below:

Note: please modify the wireless channel on the TD-W8961N to 1/6/11, change its wireless security type to WPA2-PSK/AES, then reboot the TD-W8961N.
If this doesn't work, it is suggested to get a range extender instead of the wireless router.
Good day.
