Hi all IT sifus,

Currently I am using a primary Dual Band router (model: AMINIA MA131) provided under Maxis ONEPrime package.

I have an extra TP-Link Archer C5v router ( https://service-provider.tp-link.com/wifi-router/archer-c5v/ ) which I plan to use as an "Wifi Extender / Repeater" to complement my primary router which may need tweaking of some settings; including disabling DHCP & turning router into a wireless bridge etc. 

I managed to access TP-Link router setting under administrator mode (via 192.168.1.254) but unable to change it's Default Gateway setting.

   1. Anyone have other solutions or better recommendations?
   2. If unable to change Default Gateway, can TP-Link Archer C5v router use custom firmware from https://www.dd-wrt.com?

Thanks in advance!

Firstly, thanks for your recommendations but there is no option to disable VLAN or change to Bridge mode.
It looks like the  router settings are hard-coded for Maxis only (refer photo below)

For the Gateway, after I disable DHCP server + change IP address to my custom Gateway IP,  unable to access router after reboot.
Then I need to Reset router back to factory default settings.

If you have the same router model, can please share some screenshots of your settings?

face the same issue as you. did you manage to sort this out?

can this router work ask wifi repeater? the discussion above is quite complicated and im not the IT tech guy..ive tried to dig into the router config and i could find the setting for the wifi repeater..  

Which means that it's impossible to use this router as wireless bridge?
But I saw TS has mentioned previously that he was able to make it work and his router was placed at a different floor with the main one.
