Tags: #WDS/Range Extender Mode
Model: Archer C5  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 3.16.0 0.9.1 v6021.0 Build 180202 Rel.44079n

I can't enable 5G WDS configuration , 2G works fine, but when I try to configure the 5G WDS, the button cannot be enabled.

I'm not expert with routers, I'm just trying to configure my router to brigde the wifi from another router.

***The model is Archer C5, it was not on the Model list, this is why the model selected is C55

Thanks a lot,

William Borgo

@wborgo  Try to change the 5GHz wireless channel on your host router to band 1, which is 36/40/44/48, then reboot both devices to see if the WDS feature for 5 GHz will be enbabled.

Thanks Kevin_Z, I don't have access to my host router, it's pre configured from my ISP and I don't have access. I will need to contact then or open a ticket in their support. But, even if I change the band in the host router, the problem is that I can't even enable the WDS. So I think the band will be a problem in future, after enable the WDS (thanks in advance for this). I have tried to reset the archer (power on, press reset for 10 seconds).

@wborgo  Please try to change the 5G band on the host router first, then confirm if the issue persists. Thanks.
