Very valid question. When checked please ask also how Android 7 will behave in this aspect. Could be different.

I have this setup

Ground floor: PC  via Lan -> Wifi/Router (internet)

Upstairs (Room): Q10 Pro -> Range Extender (http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-10_TL-WA855RE.html)

Q10 Pro is attached via LAN. (Also Wifi if you want) through the Range Extender.

Range Extender -> Wifi/Router.

And you want to route the traffic of the PC through the Q5 Pro to the internet? It's just easier to buy an 8 port gigabit switch.

Some may be considering to use OpenWRT with FW APP to control traffic for the total home environment towards the Internet? If that is included with Android 7 like the competition is doing?
Controlling the home access with a powerful and easy to change Security layer is not trivial. The ISP router may be unsuitable for that.

If you can use a LAN switch it could connect wired:
- Router
- PC
- Q5
And wireless for any other device you have. A Gigabit Switch even with 8-ports are cheap these days (use a Netgear for this myself).
Be sure to use CAT5E or better cabling only. This is how I work myself (also wired my AMP, TV, STB to it ) as nothing beats wired.
My Q10 Pro acts as a NAS for the total home in this setup. Keep my PC closed for security concerns.

Just a tipp: have you tried to set your PC's internet connection/adapter properties "Share->Allow other networks computers to connect through this computer's internet connection" .  ?

I have used virtual Wi-Fi for a while one my PC to connect the Q10 Pro to the internet through my PC and it worked, maybe it will work with cable as well...

Hi, Guys
I have one trouble.
My box not work LAN and WiFi
I want use USB LAN adapter. How can I initialize the adapter? How to register in system of the driver? Before on firmware Android 5.1 was enough to add to the folder /system/lib/modules. Now on Android 7 it doesn't work. What to do?

@DenisDA: why not try to make the built-in LAN work? This is madness, what you are trying to do, you and the member that started this thread. It is like re-inventing the wheel. I guess people will never stop making things difficult. What makes you think an USB lan will work, if the built-in did not? Rather than to try to fix your ethernet you want to use an USB LAN.

A good router will take care of any of your problems.

I asked about installing drivers!!! Built-in LAN does not work, I wrote about it. Android just does not see it.
