I've got a wifi router conneted to my OTP and a wifi dongle in my PC that connects it to the internet. I also have a LAN cable from the same PC that goes into another router where my LAN and printers are connected too. My question is, how can I connect my PC to the internet using a LAN cable and not Wifi dongle? Note that I cannot plug my PC into the ONT because the wifi router is connected to it which the other devices in my home require.

Hope im making sense and sorry I assumed this is the most appropriate board to post the question.

Plug your PC into the router where your printers are via ethernet.

If thats not possible buy a switch and connect the switch to your ONT where the wifi router is.
 
My PC is plugged into the router where the printer is. Should I connect that router to the router that is connected to the ONT?
