Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.13.6

Hello, I bought a router to use it as a repeater, I tried to configure it and when I tried to connect the router to my main network through WDS mode but when i try to connect it in 5ghz band doesn't appear my network, I'm now using 2.4 Ghz but it's incredibly slow and I don't know what to do. I tried to change channel or other stuff like my LAN IP but still give me problems.

It accepts my 2.4ghz network

It appears in 2.4ghz

The closest 5ghz that appears (not mine)

My 5ghz network (that doesn't appear)

DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) channels are channels between 52 and 144. You're targetting channels between 36-48:

 

This settings hsould be done on your main router 5 GHz radio (set a static channel) so the Archer C6 could see this SSID.

If this was working before, it could be due to a setting on your main router at "Auto" (dynamic frequency).

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".

Check your main router 5GHz channel. Archer C6 doesn't support DFS channels on its 5GHz radio.

If you set you main router 5 GHz channel between 36-48 Mhz your C6 should probably see it.
