1) It shouldn't. When you choose Region Pakistan, the range of auto channel is among the channels in drop down list. You might check it again.

2) Yes, why not. For example, the main router is a Zyxel dualband wireless router, I can use C7 to WDS the main router via 2.4GHz, while the C7 is still broadcasting 5GHz for it own clients. But you need to disconnect C7's WAN port and disable DHCP service.

However, you cannot WDS on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz because it will create a wireless loop. TP-LINK now release a dedicated duaband range extender named RE200, which can repeat both bands concurrently without making a loop.

thanx for ur reply..

1) i'd tried to choose all ranges of Pakistan region.. still i have to select one of those channels instead of Auto (well it's not a big deal to avoid AUTO for me:)

2) i've accomplished this task.. !

Advantage of repeat both bands ?
Can I either use 2 internet connections via 2.4 + 5 ghz simultaneously as a WDS ?
Or
The configuration of 2.4 + 5 ghz would be same?

I don't have one, but I think it is not that mysterious.
Advantage:
- The coverage of both bands can be extended, which is the basic use as a range extender product.
- Link backup. When one band is busy or somehow even broken, the other brand is still working.

I don't quite understand what you mean. You won't be able to use two Internet connections, there is no route aggregation or link aggregation in this topology. Your client devices have to choose one IP subnet and one gateway.
