My main PC hasnt got a wifi card, normally i'd plug it into the router with an ethernet cable, but as of recently i ahve moved, and the router is out of my reach to coonect an ethernet cable.

 

For a long while - 2/3 months - i've used my laptop as a "wifi card" by bridging the Ethernet port and the Wi-Fi card together, which worked like a charm, however recently whenever i enable the bridge and plug my ethernet cable in, the wifi card loses signal every 2-4 minutes, causing my computer to lose signal aswell, making it virtually impossible to play games/use discord/etc... The bridge works perfectly fine until the ethernet cable is plugged into my laptop.

 

 This never happened before, nothing has changed, so i dont understand what i can do to fix this. Please help

It's probably decay on your laptop. I can't say for sure what it is but I would assume that it has nothing to do with your computer. If i were you, I would just go out and buy a long ass ethernet cable and route throughout your house to your PC.
