Wireless bridges were tested many times with different devices. As for me, I've
never had any problem when tested it. Please read manual in wiki. In your case
you just need to change its operation mode to "AP" and connect cable to one of
lan ports.

FYI i already tried thay way but didnt worked!
Ive been able to make it work but its not the way i wanted.
I set it into router mode set a static ip on wan port which match main WAP
subnet then i had to enable dhcp on rt-n65u with another subnet.
Ive read the wiki but only thing i found is WDS which seems to be working only
on an open wireless signal.

Then, describe please the way you'd like these devices to be connected.
You write that you want to create wireless bridge, then why do you connect them
with cable?
> Ive read the wiki but only thing i found is WDS which seems to be working

I don't where you found it.
http://my.router/Advanced_WMode2g_Content.asp
"This feature only supports RT-N65U [Open System/NONE, Open System/WEP or
WPA2-Personal/AES] authentication methods."
If you need wireless bridge, then follow

_increase_the_coverage_area_of_%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8BWi.
Again, I've tested it with different devices and never had any problem, but on
2,4G only =/ (I don't think there will be any problem with 5G)

They are both connected wirelessly through 5 GHz
Here is my setup which might but thing more simpler
ISP ----> My Pfsense router (DHCP server, Web cache etc..) --->(Cat6) Switch
--->(Cat6) TP-link Archer C7 --->(Wireless 5Ghz)---> Asus RT-N65u
TP-Link C7 is set as access point only since i already have a router. Cable is
connected to LAN port of archer C7 coming from the switch
Settings i use is 5Ghz N signal only channel 165
On the asus RT-N65u
Settings i use in 5Ghz bridge tab is AP-Client only as i dont need it to act as
a reapeater
Wireless client role WAN (ISP) ----> i tried lan bridge but doesnt connect
Channel 165
STA SSID (i used the survey and got my archer C7 SSID)
Authentication method WPA2-Personal
Encryption AES
Same preshared key as Archer C7
Is i set the asus Rt-N65u in AP mode it doesnt connect but as soon as i set it
to router mode it does.
As its specified in the wiki, i tried the WDS on the RT-N65u but unfortunately
there is no way for me to enter the authentication method of the Archer C7 that
way.
So far it does work but only if RT-N65u is set as Router and uses the Wireless
5Ghz as wan port.
