You should set up your second router as an access point using only its Ethernet connection. Since it’s older and has limited speed, ensure it’s properly configured for bridging or tunneling to your PC. Disable any phone/WiFi settings on the router and connect it directly via Ethernet to your device. This way, you can bypass the default gateway issue and use the second router as a functional access point.

You likely disabled DHCP after converting it to an AP. Make sure to unplug the router from the network or manually assign a static IP to your PC if it's connected.

Please confirm your response by quoting us. Then run CMD, type ipcondig/all, and verify the gateway.

Which router is this? Many firmware versions don’t allow wireless uplinks or bridges. You’d have to turn on WDS on your upstream access point to handle bridging for more than one Mac address.
