Link your device to two networks concurrently.
Hey! I understand you're facing a tricky setup situation. You have your router on the first floor, your PC in the third-floor bedroom, and a 35m Ethernet cable linking them. You also have a Wi-Fi extender in the bedroom that can extend coverage. The main problem is that when you connect your PC to Network 2 via the extender, it seems disconnected from Network 1, which affects streaming and remote control.
To simplify things, you could look into Ethernet splitters. They let you split a single Ethernet connection into multiple ports—typically two female and one male. This way, you can connect your PC to both networks at once: one port for Network 1 (router) and another for Network 2 (extender). The third port would stay free for other devices.
If you want a more permanent fix, consider buying an Ethernet splitter that supports dual-port configurations. This would make managing multiple networks easier without needing extra cables or complex setups. Let me know if you'd like help finding the right model!
Others suggested focusing on extending network 1 instead of re-broadcasting to network 2. A pricier alternative would be installing a dedicated WiFi access point with multiple Ethernet ports, setting it up with the same SSID as network 1 but on a different channel, and connecting the PC directly to it via a wired link. The most budget-friendly choice remains using an inexpensive unmanaged Gigabit switch and connecting both devices to it.
what you want is a wireless repeater bridge https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge whether your extender can do this or not ...???? not sure post make / model of repeater please.
Hey there! Thanks for your patience. I understand things have been busy lately, but I’m happy to help. No need to rush—I’ll get through this quickly. Here’s what you asked: the model of my repeater plus screenshots of the setup interface. You can find them here: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07NY2H...UTF8&psc=1.

Hey everyone! Just shifting the subject. I think we can translate the Amazon page you mentioned. I know it's in French, so sorry about that. Thanks a lot!
