Guys, I am not a technical guy, hence seeking for a help from you all.

 

My new internet provider (Airtel Fiber - India) has provided a dual band router along with the connection. Hence I want to use my existing Archer C80 as a repeater. Please guide me how can I do that. 

 

I am not at all a technical guy, hence unable to get it through. I have checked YouTube, but the options it showed, I don't have that.

 

Please help.

Hi, we have recently released a new firmware that adds the support for WDS, you can install it on your C80 to confirm if you can set it up to extend the existing network:

You can't use C80 as a repeater, it lacks that functionality.

If you want to extend your wi-fi coverage, you can use it as an AP.

If you decide to do that follow this guide.

 

Edit: A new FW has been released a week after my post, which implements a dedicated WDS menu.
