Hey! I understand your setup. You're using an Oculus Quest 2 and trying to set up a separate router for smoother streaming. The issue you're facing with the Ethernet connection dropping when the PC is on the LAN cable is common. Try enabling the Ethernet adapter in your router settings and ensure it's properly connected. If the problem persists, check if the PC's network settings are correctly configured for the new router.

Regarding bridging: Yes, you can set up a bridge between your WiFi and the LAN cable so your PC can access the internet through any device on the network. Just make sure the bridge is configured correctly on your router. Let me know if you need help with that!

Use a straightforward access point instead of a router. You can convert the router into an AP by turning off its DHCP service or selecting AP mode in the settings. Keep the WAN port vacant, plug the main router’s LAN cable into one of the LAN ports, and connect the PC to another. This will place everything on the same network with an AP nearby.

Sure thing! It seems like the issue happens when the cable is plugged in and you're losing internet. Let me know if you need more help.

This usually happens when it isn’t marked as an AP. You link the new router, its DHCP server assigns it an IP address and gateway, and Windows attempts to connect, but because it’s not linked to an internet source, no data flows.
