Is there a reason you have USB instead of another ethernet cable?

It's how it's set up. The main PC has the sofware on it to control the router and you can connect either, wirelessly, ethernet cable or the USB. Anyone know what the best way to connect is then?

Swap the USB with another ethernet cable.

Get rid of the USB and use Ethernet all around.
