TP-Link repeaters cannot connect to repeat Wireless

However, since the upgrade to the 21.02 OS version, these routers cannot connect anymore at all. They seem to connect but keep a state of 'Without internet' and the OpenWrt router seems to not detect them as connected.

There are some known issues with WDS links and 21.02.0 and 21.02.0_rc4. See the link below.

You could try 21.02.0_rc3 or the latest master snapshots. WDS worked well with rc3 and there should be fixes in the master now.

WDS Configuration on 21.02 - Atheros Specific WDS Issue

Quick update. There is a patch available for NETIFD that I am testing. So far it looks like the patch fixes the WDS connection issue. I am running 21.02.0 (official release) with an updated NETIFD package.
