Archer C6 - WDS didn´t work on 5GHz
Archer C6 - WDS didn´t work on 5GHz

Hi Everyone,
I´m having an issue with my new Archer C6 router.
I´m trying to setup a WDS (bridge) to my main router (Huawei). If I set it up with a 2,4GHz it works well, ip adress is given to my computer, internet works well. As I need higher speed (500 Mbit optical connection), I´m trying to do the same on the 5GHz frequency. When I set it up (2,4GHz off), it gives me on the main page that WDS status "run", but I get no internet connection, even can´t ping my main router (but I get IP address with DHCP from the main router "192.168.0.1").
I´m not a professional, but have setup today also a new Archer C7 same way, to the same Huawei router (C7 for media room / C6 for living room bridge).
I´m running the latest available FW version for the C6 router. Is it possible that there is a FW issue with the 5GHz WDS function? Or I have a broken C6 router? Should I return it with warranty claim? (exchange it for another C6 / or it´s a known issue/bug?).
Thanks for any help in advance,

@Kevin_Z Hi, I have Nokia ONT device G-2425G-A. After selecting WDS1, it worked for a while but then suddenly it stopped working. What do I do?
Thanks!

Nokia ONT device G-2425G-A seems to be a mobile phone, am I right?
Do you also experience the same issue when connecting the C6 to your main router via 5G WDS? Can I have the brand and model of the main router?
Where did you choose WDS1, can I have some screenshots also?
