Question switch causing internet disconnetions

[Dolev9998]

I used to have only router, connected to 2 computers (worked fine),
later on I added TP-Link Access point device (TL-WA801ND) , which disconnected my internet for a few mins when connected ( worked fine after initial disconnect so i kept using it),
and later on I bought another TP-Link product, Switch (TL-SG1005D), which i connected as follow:

router connected to a computer and to the switch,
switch connected to a computer and access point device.

when I added the switch,
the internet got really unstable. it would disconnect ALOT, making fps games unplayable (in both computers).
what should I do than? am i not using the switch correctly? maybe it requires a setup i didn't know about?

I have a hard time figuring out how you have connected this.

A basic rule is: use as few components as possible to get a stable internet connection, to all the devices you want to connect. You wont gain any more speed adding components.

The more you add, the more setup questions you run into, and only one little ok-tick somewhere in a list may completely knacker the whole setup.

I Hope its easy to understand:

and the problem is not internet speed or latency,
the problem is that the internet itself disconnects every few mins (unable to use for a few mins,than reconnects again). It Began only when I added the switch.

please note that the switch(or 2nd computer) is far away from router (which is located next to 1st computer),so its not possible to run another cable from router to switch (or Access Point).
The reason I bought the switch was because i needed another port near 2nd computer.

What is the AP for ?
Try disconnect it and see what happens with the internet for the 2.nd computer.

What is the AC for ?
Try disconnect it and see what happens with the internet for the 2.nd computer.

The Access point is for wifi connection near the 2nd computer.
ill try disconnecting it than.

after using it for a while without the Access point, it seems not to cause any problem so far.
what it means i should to about the access point?

Basically the switch is there to provide more ethernet connection ports ?
I'd say you should move the AP directly to the router output and convert the whole setup to wifi connections on the clients.

Its quite easy extending the range on wifi by using wifi extenders.
These plug into a wall outlet and need no setup whatsoever.
They are placed halfway between the AP and any far remote wifi clients.

the AP cant be directly plugged in to the router,since its whole use is near second computer (router has his own wifi, but its too weak on the other part of the house so thats the use of the AP).
What do you mean by: "convert the whole setup to wifi connections on the clients"? couldn't understand that.
also wifi extender is an option,didn't consider that.

You NEED to temporarily run a different cable. 99% of ethernet problems are cable related. Is that long cable a commercially made cable or a cable that is in-wall and terminated in wall plates? If it is in-wall have you reterminated the wall plates at both ends?
