Bridged mode works with any router that has ethernet ports, it has nothing to do with the main router model. You just need a secondary devices that supports bridged mode or AP mode.
I tried this with multiple AP devices and worked without any issues. I have a diffrent router mode, a Huwawei one, and I used to have MI AC1200 as the AP, worked great. Then I got two mesh device from dialog, and one divice is connected to the main router via cable (pretty much like the bridged mode), this also works very well.
My suggestions :
for single AP,
MI AC1200
There are a couple of TP Link devices I have seen.
The probelm with the these devices is, these dvices has 100Mbps ethernet port, so even if your main router supports Gigabit ethernet, your second AP can have maximum 100Mbps in bridged mode.
You have to get mesh devices to get Gigabit ethernet support. I have older dialog devices. I think these are some re-branded chinese devices. But now Dialog is selling CUDY AX3000, that is a good option.
SLT also selling some mesh devices, but those are bit expensive.
If you have a big house with a lot of rooms, then go for mesh devices. worth the money.
