Hi I have been using a Archer C9 running DDWRT r31571 which has a Broadcom BCM4709 chip. I want to connect a Linksys WRT1900 V2 running DDWRT r42054 with a Marvell Armada 385 chip as a repeater (I need to have access in the loft area of my house but have no way of running a cable) the options on the Linksys router are AP/client/client bridge (routed)
WDS station/ WDS station (mikrotik)/ WDS ap. can anyone advise me if this is possible and if so the best way to tackle this-thank you.

problem solved. Had the Archer C9 as the primary router and set the WRT 1900 to Client Bridge(Routed) with added virtual interfaces- the 2.4Ghz band worked perfect but no way could I get the 5.0 band to connect via the repeater.
I have acquired a Linksys WRT 32X with build r38326 running as the primary router.
I set the Linksys WRT 1900ACS V2 with build r42054 in client Bridge (routed) mode with virtual interfaces. the whole system now works mint.
