At first, I connect my Windows 10 desktop PC to Internet through an Ethernet cable to a box the ISP gave me. I have no idea what the box is called by experts. All the information I have is that the box is white and prints "eero".
Now I have two Windows 10 desktop PCs and I want them to communicate like ping or telnet. I hear that there is a thing called "router" that can do this job, so I purchased "UISP EdgeRouter X". I chose it just because it's a router and it's cheap. Now the router has arrived, but I don't know how to connect (maybe you prefer the verb "install"). For now, I don't have the ambition to communicate between two of my PCs using this router. I just need to have my first PC connected to Internet as before with the router getting in. There is an Ethernet port named "eth0/PoE IN" on the router. Because of the "IN", I'm guessing it is kind of an input of the network. So, I connect this port to the white eero box the ISP gave me. Then, I connect my PC to a normal port of the router named "eth1". Of course I also plugged in the power adapter and reset the router with a pen.
But my PC can't connect to the Internet.
The above connection scheme is the best I can figure out. I also blindly tried different ways of connection with other ports and it does not work. So, I'm at my wit's end. I read the Quick Start Guide but can't get any help from it. So, I ask here. Please teach me how to use router so that my first PC can connect to Internet as if there is no router getting in, and, if it does not bother you too much, how to connect my second PC to the router so that they can communicate. PS, all I want is wired connection. No wireless/wifi. Thank you.
