On my device, it displays Wi-Fi availability but intermittently fails to load content despite showing connectivity. The issue resolves quickly. On my PC, Ethernet behaves similarly—experienced during Fortnite and GTA Online. I upgraded with a PCIe Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2-in-1 adapter, which improved performance, though the Wi-Fi remains slightly slower and only activates briefly. I have both a built-in router modem and a connected router serving two computers. I’m unsure which one is faulty. My phone stays linked to the modem, not the router. I’m considering switching to a switch instead of a router. Any suggestions?

Are you certain the router linked to the modem isn't interfering with a conflicting DHCP server or leading to IP issues? The modem connected to Wi-Fi should receive DHCP from the router, which should be set to "Bridge mode" to prevent conflicts. This might result in internet drops since you'd need to log into the secondary router and reconfigure it.

You can follow simple steps to understand networking basics. Start by learning core concepts like devices, protocols, and connections. Use online tutorials or beginner-friendly guides to build your knowledge gradually. Practice with hands-on tools if possible.

It depends on your second router's model. If you identify the brand, you can search for instructions online. The process differs, and based on the IP address, you may need to use that specific router or connect the second one to access it.
