Model: Archer AX73  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.1

Hi,

 

I have an Archer AX5400, model AX73.  It is my main router.

 

I am trying to use another TPLink AC1750 as a WDS bridge, so that I can use the ports on that as a wired connection.

 

INTERNET -----  AX73 ~~~~~Wifi~~~~~ AC1750 ----- Wired ports

 

Is this supported?

 

Do I need to configure anything on the AX73 side? 

 

Thank you

WDS should be configured only on the extended router (not on your main router) - here's a guide for that.

However AX series routers have been notorious about building a WDS with. Use the guide to configure AC1750 and check if it's successful.

  @terziyski , thank you.

 

It worked.  I upgraded the firmware on the AC1750, and the guide told me exactly where the option was hidden. 

 

Working now, and thank you again.
