Cannot connect Archer C6 as a satellite router to XC220-G3v XPON Router
Cannot connect Archer C6 as a satellite router to XC220-G3v XPON Router
Hi!
I have bought a TP-Link XC220-G3v (Hardware version - 2.0 and firmware updated to - 1.13.0 0.8.0 v6062.0 Build 240822 Rel.26630n from - https://www.tp-link.com/br/support/download/xc220-g3v/#Firmware) and I have a TP-Link Archer C6 (Hardware version - 4.0 and firmware version - 1.13.6 Build 240430 Rel.54880n(5553)).
I am using the XC220 as my fibre router and I want to use the Archer C6 as a satellite wireless Easy Mesh device to the XC220. I have tried everything mentioned here - https://www.tp-link.com/in/support/faq/3581/ and here - https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/653276. But it's not working. I have tried from phone using Aginet app and using the web GUI, tried to bring the routers closer, put the Archer C6 in Satelite Mode, WPS button method etc., but no help.
The Archer C6 does show up as a device -
But it fails to connect every time -
It would be amazing if anyone could help me fix this issue.
Thank you.

@Joseph-TP I have reset the main router completely and done the setup from scratch. Didn't enable Guest Network or Multi SSID. Still the devices connected to Archer C6 was showing no internet while the devices connected to main router was working fine.

@AkshayGunplay i forgot to add - i have connected both the routers using an ethernet cable, xc220 being main router ethernet cable from main router's lan port to satellite router archer c6's lan port and my internet works just fine on both the routers like a mesh network. There's only a single ssid visible. It works exactly as mesh however i just cannot add the satellite router to the mesh network section.

@AkshayGunplay I have tried a lot and failed unfortunately. Later I thought about buying a 50 feet long LAN cable just to connect the routers and cover the area I need. But I got into some issues routing LAN cable in my home. Then I thought that it might be an issue with only these 2 devices and I bought a RE305 repeater. After that I realised that the issue is with the XC220. Because the RE305 connects flawlessly with the C6 but it fails to connect with the XC220. So, buying XC220 was a mistake on my part. TP Link should've checked compatability before advertising this feature. Now my connection is like this. BSNL Fiber goes to XC220 which has wifi disabled and then the Archer C6 acts as the main router and then extending the connection using RE305 in wireless mode.
