Hi there,
First of all, sorry for the handwriting in the image below… wrote it very quickly. I recently installed a secondary router to work with my Quest 3 VR headset (so I can basically stream VR games wirelessly from my PC). This has a different network name and password. My PC is connected to it, along with my Apple TV, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. The thing is my Jellyfin media server is connected via my main router, which like I said before, has a different name and password. I can’t have my Apple TV or my PC connect to the media server. I also can’t connect from my PC to the media servers via Windows remote desktop, which I also strictly need. Any thoughts how I could fix this? Thanks!
This is the way.
Done correctly, all of the devices will be on one network (i.e. they can all see each other, and there is a single device - the primary router - that is providing NAT/DHCP services to all devices), AND there will be two wi-fi options in the house with two SSID’s, one from the primary and one from the secondary. So you would get the benefit of a faster wireless connection for the Quest.
One minor question for OP: do you really need the secondary router and that network switch? I would guess the secondary router would have enough ethernet ports.
