I recently bought Archer A6 (US) router and set it up as a wireless repeater following the steps mentioned in https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/kb/detail/396 .

While using the router in WDS Bridging mode, the devices that I connect to my tl-link router are able to internet, but the router is not able to connect to Internet. I am not able to use the following functions in the router (The ones that I tested so far).

- Firmware upgrade check
- Internet time update
- Scheduling router reboot, LED turn off time
- DDNS, TP Link ID login etc.,

Is this a limitation in the router while using it as a wireless repeater?

If yes, any plans for fixing this in near future?

Are there any workarounds for the same?
