Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.04 Build 20180425 rel. 72768

I cannot find a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) config option on any menu via the web admin interface or the app. Is this supported on the UK/EU model ??

Please go to advanced-system tools-system parameters page to get the WDS option.

 

Meanwhile, please ensure that the Archer C7 works as a regular wireless router.

Hi Kevin, the trick is the device has to be "router" mode rather than access point. Then all menus are viewable under the "parameters" menu link on the left hand side of the browser screen. This even worked on the android app.

Thanks again

John Maguire.
