I have a problem: My modem uses 3 ports: 1 port is empty, 1 port connects to the TV, 1 port connects to the xiaomi wireless router. Now my PC is connecting to the Xiaomi router via the LAN port by wire. The problem here: if I let the TV connect wirelessly to the Xiaomi router too, the TV and the PC will recognize each other as local area network (LAN). But if I connect the TV to the modem (via wire), the PC and the TV will recognize each other as WAN (even they use the same modem). Is there a way to connect the TV to the modem and the PC to the xiaomi router and those two devices will recognize each other as LAN?

We need more information, including the make and model of your modem, as well as how the ports are connected up. That said, assuming your modem is actually a router (which is likely), can you configure your Xiaomi as an Access point (ie ignore its WAN interface and disable its DHCP server)– davidgoCommented Nov 24, 2022 at 10:02

Put a switch on wireless router to add LAN ports on the wireless router. Turn wireless OFF on the modem and just use your own wireless router for Wifi– anonCommented Nov 24, 2022 at 12:46
