@TejaSg

Just to confirm, is the C6 the main router, or it is the extender that you want to connect it to the main fiber connection via Wi-Fi? If this C6 is the extender, verify that the network layout is as below:

Main Fiber modem router)))) (((((C6

What is the model number of that fiber modem? After you configure the WDS settings on the C6, what is the WDS status on its web interface, is it RUN? Please show us the screenshot.

Please also refer to this guide to double check the basic settings on the C6:
