Need some advice with strange router behaviour

[igloo]

No Openwrt I guess on that . Wifi is better than C6 according to input here on the forum

I am a noob when it comes to openwrt. I don't think range should be an issue for me as my total house size is around 560 sq feet. Also it lacks two ports than offered with C6. Aesthetically too, C6 is better unlike the spider AC1900.

So in the midst of discussing how to connect TV with internet, I am confused about how to connect my PC with internet. Right now, I am using Lan cable to connect the PC from router. After changing the setup, I don't know how to connect the PC since the internet would be transferred to A6/C6 using WDS.
Any ideas, suggestions?

you can use a wifi adapter like this https://www.amazon.in/TP-Link-Wireless-Adapter-Archer-T2U/dp/B07P681N66 or this https://www.amazon.in/TP-Link-Archer-T2U-Nano-Wireless/dp/B07KRCW6LZ

I'm not sure about WDS, its not very good for performance wise, especially as the Nokia router and Archer are in different rooms.

So there would be no way I could connect my PC with Lan cable after this modified setup other than using USB dongle @JB701

Ah, Ports on Nokia will still work fine. It is doing the routing. Nokia is in the corner of the house right?

 

[Tejas01]

Yeah, as per the house plan in post 1, Nokia is in room 3 or corner as you would call it. A6/C6 would be in middle/wall adjoining room 2 for equal distribution of wifi.

 

[JB701]

Ideally, you should run a cable from Nokia to Archer. But you could try WDS see how performance is like.

Yup, would have done that. But would have needed to drill holes in door frames which could result in objection from other members.
