Disable one of your routers or configure one to act as a simple access point. Avoid having two routers managing IP addresses, which causes double NAT. Instead, connect your secondary router to the primary one using a LAN port, then disable DHCP on the secondary router. This way, all devices will use the primary router for IP assignment, eliminating double NAT issues.
