It’s a router, but inserting two Ethernet cables—one from your PC and one to your laptop—prevents the PC from accessing the internet since the router isn’t functioning properly.

Your ISP modem/router package and the Asus device both have specific model numbers you’ll need to check.

I believed you were attempting to use a second router as a switch, which confused my reading skills. It seems you might need a new router/modem combo. Which ISP are you connected with, and do they provide a guide on compatible modems on their support page?

Broadband information comes from a person named origin, and the details I have are limited to speeds of 30 up and 30 down. I believe I just require a simple router, possibly a newer model.

Origin Broadband operates as a DSL ISP, correct? You connect via a DSL gateway. The information doesn’t reference restrictions on the number of devices you can use. This suggests your equipment might be faulty—given its age and damage—it could be time to reach out to Origin for a replacement. They may have upgraded their systems, and the process should be free for current customers, though I’m not based in the UK.

Well, you could just grab one and ask what you think?

To swap the ISP gateway for your own device, you must reach out to your ISP and inquire about approved alternatives. Certain providers are strict about network changes, whereas some offer guidance. Consult fellow users or neighbors who share the same ISP for their insights.
