Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.12.10 Build 230208

Dear TP-Link community,

 

I have bought the Archer C6 a few hours ago hoping i could use it as a wireless bridge through something called WDS. I followed online tutorials and nothing helped

 

I connected to my main router (192.168.0.1) just fine, but no matter what i did i didn't have Internet.

 

I have done this with an older router (TL-WR543G) so i know this is possible. I bought the Archer C6 because this older one kept turning off randomly

 

Any help would be appreciated

What's your main router make and model ? Here's the guide for building a WDS.

There's a newer FW release for your device here - just make sure that your FW region is EN.

Update to the latest FW release and try building WDS again.
