this is laptop WIFI problems, not router. i have been able to connect fine when using linux on the laptop or using a mobile device. the main computer just has a terrible wifi chip and shouldn't connect at all and the laptop's wifi has connectivity problems when using windows.

after testing antspants' method of resetting the network adapters then bridging, it still ends up in the same result, main computer gets no internet but laptop does.

oh, and i just want to actually use this usb to ethernet connector for once.

maybe, but i don't really want to spend money at the moment (im poor lol)

the drawing i attached shows the desktop is connected to the router and the laptop is bridged to the desktop using a ethernet to USB adapter (and as for the switch, i'd rather not go get a long ethernet cable just so i can route it to my laptop, i'd rather just bridge the connection to my...

i have a laptop and a desktop, desktop is connected to the router at all times and i want to share ethernet with the laptop without losing internet on the desktop. i have USB to ethernet connected to the laptop and the actual ethernet port connected to the router on the desktop. nothing special...
