Router Placement
If you’re using two routers;
- One router physically connects to the server, the other one connects to the first one using an ethernet cable.

Ethernet for clients
Whenever possible, use Ethernet connections for clients to minimize network load.
Reconfigure the clients
Ensure that computers are configured for the nearest WiFi network.
Disable Wi-Fi for wired clients
For the computers on ethernet (This includes server),
disable wifi, either by using the applet or hardware switch.

Balance the load by ensuring an even distribution of clients across routers to avoid network congestion.”
