Why I am not getting repeater mode option for my archer Archer c50 router
I am trying to setup my archer C50 router as repeater for extending my coverage at home. I am from India and use Airtel Xtreme fiber, so the main router is installed by the service provider (ZTE) which I can't replace but only can use extender option. For some reason when I use 192.168.0.1 I see only 2 options.
1. Wireless router
2. Access point
In some videos 3rd option is also there which is what I am looking for, Ranger extender.
How to get that option enabled?

I'm stuck with ZTE as my service provider; switching is out of the question. When I type in 192.168.0.1, I only get two choices.

I tried this solution that I believe you have posted on some other thread. Issue is when I configure the the router, it needs to pick the source network from which it is going to extend the network, a typical extend network option, but it fails to establish that. Anything I am missing?
Do you or anyone on this forum knows how to upgrade framework from V4 to V6?

If you've followed the guide I posted, you should be able to configure the WDS feature unless in case of the disclaimer:

If you want to have HW v6 of C50 you should buy a new C50 device - that's the only way to do that.

I did try your solution. But can you share how it works to connect to parent network which the repeater needs to extend? Once the C50 is setup it needs to work as wireless repeater and not wired one.

Yes, that's what WDS does - https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/227/ - converts C50 into a wireless repeater.
Open this link and follow the guide - in your case your ZTE is your "root router" and the C50 is your "extended router", which connects wirelessly to the root router.
