I tried to repeater from Ubiquiti Router (This is mesh wifi), but can't success.
Ubiquiti:
Router: 192.168.100.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
My Config:
Bridge IP: 192.168.10.1
AP/Gatewat IP: 192.168.100.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Wan Ethenet Port: Disable
DSN Servers: Use Gateway As DNS Server
Connect Via Client Bridge
Operation Mode: Repeater Enabled
...
Other setting: Default
Somebody can help me?

1. Make sure Ubiquiti broadcasts on channels between 1 - 11 (higher channels may not be supported).
2. Make sure your passwords and WiFi security are correct
3. Make sure Gargoyle has reach to Ubiquiti - when Ubiquiti @ Gargoyle is interrupted, Gargoyle will not broadcast and the Internet will not work. This behavior is correct and is not an error.
4. Do not use the guest network - it is completely separate.
5. Do not use a DHCP server on the Gargoyle router or enable the function to force clients through DHCP.

I make sure the things you mentioned from 1 to 4 is correct.
At No.5, how can i do it? Do i need to uncheck LAN DHCP Server Enabled from DHCP tab before i config in Basic tab?

Both options should be unhooked:
Sorry, but my Gargoyle router is momontally in "gateway" mode, so I can't make a real photo.

If it still does not work, so try if Ubiquiti is connected with Gargoyle (there I see a problem).
1. Temporarily connect the Gargoyle to the computer via cable over LAN port
2. To access the Gargoyle router, you must first set up a fixed IP address on your computer:
IP: 192.168.10.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
3. Connect to Gargoyle via ssh and run this command on Gargoyle and if you connect correctly you should get a positive answer:
If not, find out the reason, for example, from the Ubiquiti log or from the Gargoyle log using the
logread command.

Thank you for your help.
I can't success. So, can i directly upgrade Openwrt firmware from Gargoyle or i need to revert to TP-Link firmware defaut?
I have been searching for ways to get back to TP-Link firmware but I don't know the best way to avoid brick.

To get back to OEM TP-Link firmware, you need to find the file without the bootloader. so-called "stripped":

If you want to go back to OpenWrt, you should use a *.sysupgrade.bin file.
To return to the default Gargoyle configuration, simply press the "Restore Default Configuration Now" button or use the ssh command:
