Hello, your TP-Link Archer VR900 is performing well. Your ISP provided a new router and recommends using it as the internet gateway. You want to set up the existing TP Link as a Wi-Fi repeater, connect the local switch to the TP Link via Wi-Fi, and link the switch to a Gigabit switch for wired connectivity. All devices in the remote room should access the internet through this setup. Yes, it is possible. Follow these steps: configure the ISP router as the internet gateway, set your TP Link as a repeater by connecting it to the internet router via Wi-Fi, and connect the switch to the TP Link using a wired connection. Then enable all devices on the remote network to connect through the TP Link for seamless internet access. If you tried Bridge mode without success, try switching to standard repeater mode or consult your router's manual. Thank you!

The device must include that capability by default, usually visible in the Operation Mode settings. Depending on the chipset, you might be able to add third-party firmware such as DDWRT. However, compatibility isn't guaranteed for every router.

Donut417, it looks like most TP-Link routers aren't compatible with DD-WRT. Best of luck! Regards,
