I have an Archer c60 V2. I would like to use as access point bringing signal from my router through ethernet cable and replicate the wifi at 2nd floor of the house.
Since ACCESS POINT options is not available in standard firmware, I installed Open WRT.
The problem is : IT LOOKS VERY COMPLEX !
I tried to setup the wifi as ACCESS POINT, but then I don't understand if I need to which INTERFACE links: WAN, WAN6 or LAN ?
Is there any user guide for dummies I can check?
Thanks

There is the dumbAP guide.
It is describing the steps when connecting to console by SSH, so if you find it hard you can do it from Luci web interface.
Essentially you need to change the IP/mask/gateway/dns of the LAN interface to match the subnet of the router.
Also from the interface page disable DHCP server (tick the ignore interface box) and disable everything in IPv6.
You can skip the step to bridge the wan port if you find it complicated and you don't need it.
Maybe it's me .. but using as Access point it shouldn't have a single network, meaining all devices should be connected as 192.168.1.xx (in order to allow roaming, in case i walk from a room where router signal is stroinger, to another where Access Point have a better coverage) ?
Yes, actually it was the 1st line in your guide "DO NOT USE THE WAN PORT"
Ok, I made it. It was non working because since my router has adress 192.168.1.1, first I had to change the AP ip adress (and save) and then I could set 192.168.1.1 as gateway.
Now it seems to work. Actually how can I know if my device is connected to the WIFI antenna of the AP or the Router?
If you are using the same SSID then you might be able to see the BSSID of the Access Point.
Otherwise you'll have to check the Access Point web interface.
