What's the proper way to create a wireless bridge between two wireless routers? (sh.itjust.works)

I've heard that WDS is the standard for creating a wireless bridge, but I have since read on a number of forum posts that WDS shouldn't be used anymore. This idea of it being deprecated seems to make sense, as it appears that it is not supported by another newer router that I have (tp-link Archer AX73). How should I go about this?

Update (2024-01-14)

I have since found this guide which seemed to work well. I'm not sure if it's the best way, but it does at least work.

If compatible, i recommand OpenWRT

Aside from the fact that hte AX73 isn't supported by OpenWRT, what steps would you suggest if one were to flash OpenWRT to accomplish this?
