Hello everybody, recently I discover game streaming locally (Steam remoteplay, Nvidia gamestream, etc.)
And I immediately bought 2 routers just for the sake of streaming game from my PC to my Phone because I like the concept of gaming anywhere I am at home.. I setup both routers as Access Points for my 1st and 2nd floor of my house...

Streaming game from my PC to phone while connected to Access Point 2 is Flawless, but when I connect my phone to Access Point 1, I can't connect to my PC... what i did wrong? I'm not an expert so that's why I'm here.. and I'm sorry if i use the wrong terminology..

You should link routers/access points with LAN ports, not WAN

Make sure each one has different static LAN IP addresses, and disable all DHCP servers except one left active, usually the main router.

Link two routers with WAN port create double NAT and two different networks
