Query:--->

My Tp-Link Archer C20 (AC750 Dual Band wireless) router has two mode settings. One is of Router and another is of AP(Access Point).
How do I change the present state to that of an AP without losing the network.
I have connection of ALLIANCE BROADBAND cable network.
It has Static IP protocols.

Now whenever I try to click the Access point button and save it,the connection goes out or gets broken

I have a Netgear D1500 ADSL2+modem/Router.
If it is of any use,how to configure it as an access point(AP)?

Difficult to do with a ADSL modem/router. See this guide below for a similar setup:

Waiting for the JiO GigaFiber.
In that case a router will be provided by JiO,through which I have to connect my existing Archer C20 from TP-Link and convert it to function as an AP(Access Point).'Thank You, @whitestar_999 , Friend.

Post a small review of jio fiber whenever you get it,I have seen some threads on reddit but they are usually negative especially concerning privacy & site blocking areas.
