Tags: #WDS/Range Extender Mode
Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.1.4 Build 20211022 rel.58866(4555)

I have connected the router to WDS. 

I Disable the DHCP and set LAN IP to root modem IP address.

Why do I have a red mark on the internet?

But I am getting internet when I connect to wifi.

 

The operating mode is router mode because wds available in router mode only.

I have jio fiber router I want to use tp-link archer A7 as a repeater without using ethernet cable can anyone help me how to do I please.

You won't be able to use OpenVPN when WDS has been built, since you are not using router's WAN port in this scenario.

I wouldn't advise to use the workaround mentioned (connecting short ethernet cable between its LAN and WAN port), since it could cause unpredicted router behavior or network loop.
