Hi, based on the user guide of TD-w8968-v4, there is a wireless bridge Also known as WDS (Wireless Distribution System),

@Ritz44Hi,
"After selecting my ssid and saved setting my ssid or AP disappear from Wi-Fi available networks. It is enabled still in router settings but not visible on Wi-Fi scan in any device"
Do you mean after selecting the SSID of Airtel fiber router on the configuration menu of 8968, no more devices(not only 8968, but also the mobile phones/computers) are not able to detect the Wi-Fi of Airtel router?
By the way, may I know how long have you had 8968?
Best regards.

I have to change channel first to be able to select Airtel ssid. After selecting ssid of main Airtel router and clicking save/apply. After this step ssid of w8968 is disappeared from my every device. So basically its wireless is enabled in settings but it's AP is not visible on any device. So cannot even scan and connect to w8968. @David-TP

Thanks for your message.
I used to see on some old routers, that once WDS on the bridging device-W8968 is enabled, It will copy the SSID of the bridged device(Airtel fiber router).
After the setup, you could try to temporarily power off the Airtel fiber router and leave 8968 only to see whether the "router" SSID is still here.
Best regards.
