I am trying to configure my Archer C60 router as WDS. My internet modem ip is 192.168.25.1, so i changed the router ip to 192.168.25.2. I disabled DHCP and enabled DWS with my modem wi-fi SSID and password. The modem says the router is conected to it, the router says WDS is running, however, i can`t get internet. What am i doing wrong? It is driving me nuts!

Check if the device, you are trying to connect to the WDS receives an IP address, if it doesn't you need to enable DHCP and configure a second subnet. Even with a wired wifi repeater, I need to have the DHCP enabled, which is not ideal but works, plus you need to configure another subnet due to the limitation of overlapping IP addresses within the firmware on the device ):
So for your main network:
- IP: 192.168.25.1/24
- SSID: xxx
- PW: 1234
Extender:
- SSID: xxx
- PW: 1234
- WAN Port IP: 192.168.25.2/24 (Static or Dynamic doesn't matter, picks up main modems DHCP)
- LAN Port IP: 192.168.26.1/24
- DHCP: 192.168.26.2-254/24
- Default GW: 192.168.26.1
- DNS: 192.168.26.1
Hope this helps.
Here is the manual just in-case you haven't seen it: http://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/Archer_C60(EU)_V1_UG.pdf

"Check whether you can get internet when connect to our router’s network. If not, it is suggested to power cycle the main root AP and our router and try the internet again.The two devices could be incompatible in WDS bridge mode if internet still does not work after power cycling them." - - http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-227.html
