1Modem 2Router

[DC]

So I connected my main router to the modem, and my 2nd router is connected to my first router by Ethernet cable. Both work fine but one problem is that my main router would lose connection. What I mean by that is wireless devices that is connected to main router would get disconnected or have really slow connection if 2nd router is using lot of internet power.. is there way i can fix that?

why do you use two routers? I'm legitimately curious, and also what model are they?

What make and model number is your modem, and what make and model numbers are the 2 routers you're using? It's highly unlikely that utilizing one router's wired connection would cause the first router to drop only wireless connectivity. Instead I suspect the routers are possibly potatoes, or if they're both broadcasting wireless networks there is mass interference happening.

Oh yup, I checked and my mai router is beyond potato, I tried to change channel and stuff but it doesn't work cuz it's so old.

Bingo, time to replace the main router, or swap the 2 devices instead.
