Model: Archer C20  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 0.9.1 0.1 v0001.0 Build 190213 Rel.65367n(5255)

Hello all. I have my router called TP-Link Archer C20 V5.0 I tried to setup a WDS in my house, but after watching all possible tutorials, I did not find any "Enable WDS" options. However, the same device was used in a Youtube tutorial for setting up the WDS. How is it possible?

You should have a RE mode:

 

 

If the example you saw was with some of the previous C20 HW versions, then it's quite possible that it was with WDS.

In HW v5 this feature is moved to the Operation Mode section.

If this was helpful click on the arrow pointing upward to make it blue. If this solves your issue, click the star to make it blue and mark the post as a "Recommended Solution".

Oh okay. Thank you! I have another router that’s called “TP-LINK W8968”. Do you know if it has WDS options? I tried to establish the wireless bridge between my C20 and W8968 (C20 as a main router that’s connected to the internet), and didn’t find any options to select a network, although there is a Wireless Bridge option in W8968.

You should have something like this (that's in HW v4):

Yeah, I found this one, chose my SSID but nothing happened. I don’t even have an opportunity to fill in the password of my main network. Just select the name of a network and nothing more.

Look at the Tip1 on the screenshot, it would explain this behavior.
