    Thank you everyone for your help. I noticed there is no WISP or repeater mode in my router settings so i need to do it with wires.

      If your router is supported by a *WRT like DD-WRT you can use “Client Mode” or bridge mode and you can do what you want to do.

      You only need the router connected to the computer to have *WRT.

      Client Mode would create a separate LAN for the computer. Bridge Mode would bridge the LAN from the main router.

      Or buy a wireless extender for your computer. My father-in-law has a Netgear one that I bought him. He uses his computer daily to work from home remotely. His PC from the router is about 8ft across the hall and 5ft to the right. Gets a good constant 300mb/s from our 500mbs plan. Also the router he’s getting signal from is a secondary router, not the main/ISP Router. He’s been working like that for 2 years now. Signal is great, even if doors in my room and his room are closed, or on weekends when the wifi is heavily used and he’s still working, no drops. Netgear

        Or just buy a WiFi PCI card and actually install it in the PC. I guarantee you’ll get better performance and have less trouble than using an extender/bridge.

          Ahh yes, but I’m my Father-in-law’s case, it’s a company desktop, so I couldn’t open the desktop and install the wireless card and install the driver without IT permissions and what not.

      No clue about the setup but wires for the win! It’ll be a much better connection …

      Have you looked into an “ethernet powerline adapter”? Basically ethernet over you electrical wiring of the building.
