Model: Archer C80  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.12

I saw in multiple threads that it was being recommended to update firmware to 1.5 for bridge or WDS mode. But I'm on 1.12 but can't see the WDS for archer c80.

  @woozle Thanks for sharing. I was actually in wireless access poin mode rather in router mode. So WDS was not showing up.

Hi,

 

Is there any way to using WDS/Range extender mode on C80 hardware version v2.20?

@knightsayni There is nowhere mentioned that WDS has been removed on V2.20, so I guess it should still support it.

 

BTW, since Archer C80 has already added support for EasyMesh, maybe WDS is not that important now. You can connect the C80 to other EasyMesh routers via cable or wireless now. You can check this thread and this one for more details.

  @Liverpool20 Thanks for your reply, but as I see, the last firmware for v2.20 is C80(EU)_V2.2_1.10.3 Build 220323, which not contain the EasyMesh support and the WDS mode is also missing. The other problem is that my main router (which comes from my ISP) does not support EasyMesh function I think.

Sorry that I wasn't aware that Archer C80(EU) 2.20 doesn't support WDS (I thought it would support it by default).

 

You may wait and continue to check for updates on your router web page, I think the new firmware should be available soon for V2.20 as well since the one for V1.0 has been released.
