How do I set up a second network?
Plug the non-Wi-Fi adapter into a power socket near your router and connect the two with an Ethernet cable. Plug the other adapter (after pairing, if necessary) into any other power socket in your home and it will create a new Wi-Fi network to which you can connect your important devices.

To summarize, regardless of what you want to do online, an ethernet connection will always be faster and more reliable than wifi and it won’t affect wifi speed.
When do you need two separate internet connections?

How can I connect two Internet routers together?
You should be able to use normal UTP cables to connect the routers together.

Illuminated Link lights at both ends of the connection should tell you when you’ve successfully connected.

Is it possible to create a separate WiFi network?
You can set up two separate internet connections to your single router. This is definitely the most secure option, but not the most cost effective. Still, you can call your current internet service provider (ISP) or another to set up the second connection. Current routers allow you to set up a “guest network” within the router settings.
