Ok. So why are you using the WiFi USB adapter in the PC if the PC is connected via ethernet to the extender?
If you remove the WiFi USB adapter, are you able to reach the internet from the PC?

No, I used to have a wifi usb adapter which was connected to the new internet that i use now, i then replaced it with an ethernet cord but that connects to my old internet that i used before. I'm trying to figure out a way to connect to my new internet using the ethernet cable connected between my pc and internet extender
