To use another WiFi as WAN (WWAN) is **already** possible with LibreMesh!
How to achieve it is explained in /docs/lime-example or online here:

Basically you need to get the name of your radio (likely radio0 or
radio1) via "wifi status" command, then add a section like this in the
/etc/config/lime of the client LibreMesh router:
option wifi radio0
list modes 'client'
option channel_2ghz 'auto'
option client_ssid 'SomeWiFiNetwork'
option client_key 'SomeWPApskPassword'
option client_encryption 'psk' # psk for WPA or psk2 for WPA2
config net wirelessclient
option linux_name 'wlan0-sta'
list protocols 'wan'
then apply the configuration with "lime-config" command and reboot.
Let us know if it works for you!
Ciao!

P.S.: the issue #415 linked by Nicopace is another scenario, where both
the routers have LibreMesh but for some reason the user needs to use
AP+client instead of mesh
If I understand right, you want to use the
company's TPLink router to
be used like gateway to access internet, Doesn't it?
Yes.
Then the best way I think is to connect this
router to your own
libremesh TPLink router via ethernet RJ-45 from a LAN port to the WAN
port of the libremesh router.
Connecting via Ethernet is not possible because there is a road in
between the routers and we do not have money to buy a cable and install
it in a way that it wouldn't get damaged.
