The simplified topology of my network is like this:
ADSL modem ===>router 1===(wirelessly)===>router 2
Router 1 and 2 are connected in bridge mode.
Both a desktop and a cell phone can connect to router 2 wirelessly with no problems. However, if I use an Ethernet cable to connect the desktop to router 2 and remove the wireless adapter from the desktop, the desktop immediately loses Internet connection. The router 2 also loses its Internet connection as the cell phone has no more Internet access.
Not only that. Router 1 also loses its Internet connection as the cell phone loses its Internet connection when it is brought to sit right next to router 1.
At this point, I have to turn off the modem and router 1 for a minute then restart them to get Internet connection back. When this is done, route r2 also gets Internet connection back.
How can router 2 make router 1 lose its Internet connection?
desktop: no brand, OS: windows 10
router 1: TP-LINK TL-WR940N
router 2: TP-LINK TL-WR941ND
ADSL modem: Aztech DSL705EU
wireless adapter: TP-LINK TL-WN7200ND
