Hello,
I am tryinig to bridge my Archer C50 V6 (Main routrer) and my old router Tp-link wr8960n V8 ADSL 2+ modem/router.
My wr8960 does not have a range extender mode... but it worked fine when configured with my previous main router Archer C20 ( which is broken now).
I bought Archer C50 as an upgrade to C20 but it doesn't have WDS bridge optioin.

Archer C50 is in router mode...

Hi,

 

WDS is an old and non-standardized technology that's been phased out by most router manufacturers in recent years. I guess that is just what happened with the Archer C50 V6.
