Can the Archer C7 be used in Client Mode?

Model: Archer C7

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I'd like to configure my dad's Archer C7 to connect his wired LAN printer to the wireless network. From my research this is known as Client Mode, but I haven't seen any indications that the C7 is designed for that. However, I have trouble believing that it couldn't be configured for such a seemingly simple task.

Is there a list of settings somewhere that would accomplish this? Or could someone instruct me on how to do this?

Thanks.

@Coronos

My apologies for the delayed response.

Actually, you can try to configure the C7 as a repeater via WDS function, then plug the printer into one of the LAN ports, this should work.

How to configure the WDS on the C7? You may check the below:
