Does the Archer C80 support WDS?
Hello,
Does the C80 support WDS bridging?
If yes, how do I enable it?
The entire "System Parameters" section seems to be missing on the C80.
When I search, I get this:

WDS bridging is the sole reason I purchased the router.
It also seems that the firmware on the website is OLDER than what my device came with. I actually downgraded. Not that it matters because WDS is still missing.

Hi, we have recently released a new firmware that adds the support for WDS, you can install it on your C80 to confirm if you can set it up to extend the existing network:

My c80 is on 1.5.7 Build 210308 Rel.60033n(4555) and there is no WDS setting anywhere. I've checked numerous times.
Am I missing something? I get the feeling the UI of my c80 is borked somehow.

If you are on the latest 1.5.7 version, there should be WDS feature under Advanced > Wireless > WDS, please confirm again.
BTW, is the Archer C80 working as the main router, or it is working as an Access Point? This WDS can only be found when the C80 is in router mode.
