I've heard that WDS is the standard for creating a wireless bridge, but I have since read on a number of forum posts that WDS shouldn't be used anymore. This idea of it being deprecated seems to make sense, as it appears that it is not supported by another newer router that I have (tp-link Archer AX73). How should I go about this?

Update (2024-01-14)

I have since found this guide which seemed to work well. I'm not sure if it's the best way, but it does at least work.

Well with openwrt you can create a backplane network and then a 802.11r network on top of that. I don't know if this is possible to do without them both running openwrt.
