Connect computer 2 to the internet through wifi on computer 1. Since you can't get a wired link from the router, consider using a repurposed old router to extend the wifi range. This would let computer 2 access the internet without needing a direct connection.
Both machines support Ethernet, so you can connect them with a cable and use one to share your internet via Wi-Fi. This setup is possible through network options in Windows on the first computer.
Computer 1, is it a laptop equipped with both Wi-Fi and Ethernet? If so, connect Computer 1 to Wi-Fi normally while using an Ethernet cable to connect Computer 2 to Computer 1. Navigate to the control panel, then go to the network and sharing center. Adjust the network card settings accordingly. Right-click the internet-connected adapter (Wi-Fi), open its properties, and select the sharing tab. Check the box for allow and choose the Ethernet connection. This should enable internet access on both devices.
Connecting the laptop to another computer may not always yield identical outcomes.
In the Windows settings app there should be an option related to hotspot. I don't recall it precisely, but it should appear in the settings under network. I tried a similar approach before, though I wasn't sure about Windows 10, and it seems to exist—look for it and set it up. Another alternative you might consider is configuring a network bridge, which you can do via the control panel by enabling ICS. Just choose your Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, right-click, and select the bridged connection option.
Indicates an issue during setup of the network bridge, noting iSCSI is active on both devices and the firewall. Troubleshooter on the Ethernet port reports invalid IP configuration. For the hotspot, mobile access is limited to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, not available otherwise, and it automatically redirects to the network settings interface.
