Okay I see, so initially the cable from my booster to my router is in the WAN port, I do not get any internet connection when connecting this to a LAN port so I don’t think I will be able to use it as a switch but I am not sure how to set it into bridge mode so any help would be appreciated. I...

So essentially my network is set up as follows ISP > Hub 3 (set up in router mode) > booster > electrical wiring > booster > My router D-LINK 878 (set up now as switch, possibly wrong im guessing) > My PC and the way i got my IP from my phone, for both of the routers is by checking the wifi...

so also just pinged to my own router after getting the IP from my phone, the difference between this and getting the IP from the router is that when i get it from the router it says the ping is "<1ms"

So i followed your instructions and pinged to my router first, came up fine, so i pinged to ISP router and on first run it pinged high then timed out and wouldn't ping again, on second try it straight up just wouldn't ping.

So! Update, after it working normally for a while. i have tried to play some counter strike today with my ping running in the background. i have also disabled DHCP on my own router turning it into a switch, dont think it made much of a difference though but i found out now that i am having...

Yes that line diagram is correct, I think currently both are set up with DHCP, I don’t really understand a lot of the settings that are in my router configurations even after years of messing with them I find it hard to feel confident about editing them but that is useful to know, thank you. I...

i have management/admin rights to both of the routers, I am currently the most tech savvy person in the household as it is just me and my parents. Which router would I be looking to check? Both of them or?

so currently I am using Speedtest.net on and off to measure my ping/download rates but I will use that cmd window. apologies, I should have mentioned that YouTube is fine, the only time I have connection problems is when I launch a game, otherwise my computer will run fine and the connection...

So basically i am having an issue with my internet wherein my internet is stable when my PC is running on idle but when i start up any game, my connection drops significantly, my ping can reach 1200ms, my download goes from 40Mbps to 4-5Mbps, and my upload stays stable. This happens with any...
