I live in an apartment with 5 built-in-wall LAN sockets spread across the whole apartment. My PC is directly plugged into one socket while in another socket I have TP-WR940N router with few wireless devices connected to it (smartphones, laptop, tablet, TV).
Problem is that my PC's external IP is different than for all other devices which are wirelessly connecting through the router. This creates me bunch of problems in setting up different network services (running Plex server, copying files from PC to tablet etc).
Is there a way to set up my network so that PC and devices connected to router have same external IP (running cable from PC to router is unfortunately not possible) ? Any ideas?

You need to configure the TP-WR940N to act as an access point. This will prevent the router from creating another subnet.
