Using Archer C6U as a wifi client

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

I want to create a very simple setup with my Archer C6U but somehow not able to do it.

All I want to have Archer C6U connect over WiFi to my modem(fibre ISP provided) and then connect my TV to LAN port of tp link router. By this setup I want use internet from modem on my tv.

Any guise for it.

There are a few ways to handle this, as it depends on what your goals are.

If the network behind the C6U doesn't need to be the same as the upstream network, a simple routed mode operation with the C6U connecting as a wifi client (i.e. wwan) is the easiest to configure.

But if your intent is to make this a wireless -> wired bridge, you need to use relayd:

Thanks for the help I got it working finally.
But there seems to be a step missing in the relay configuration guide. Before you can do test the connection i.e. this step
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/relay_configuration#test_connection
You must edit your Network-->Interfaces-->>wwan and change the protocol to DHCP client ( in previous steps it was set to static). Probably because you are getting a different DHCP ip address from main WIFI router hence internet doesn't work.
With this minor change I was able to get my internet working as I wanted.
