Router does not show windows network computers but has internet connection!
I work in the office where LAN network and internet access are used through LAN cable. The LAN adapter settings are following in order for network and internet to work: IPv4: IP adress: 192.168.157....

Please if someone can help with this problem.- Turn JWNR2010v3 into access point (see manual)
- Plug JWNR2010v3 into router
- Plug PC into JWNR2010v3
Or
- Get small ethernet switch (four ports is probably smallest you can get)
- Turn JWNR2010v3 into access point
- Plug JWNR2010v3 into switch
- Plug PC into switch
The network's router, whatever that is, will handle all the addressing, JWNR2010v3, PC and anything that connects to the wifi.

In my opinion it has to do with Router giving the right IP adress to PC (so PC can use IP settings that work).Not really. You already have a router at the other end of your LAN cable that is handling IP addresses. It is unwise to have two routers trying to do that.
Router modem is JWNR2010v3.
I draw a diagram what is the situation to make it simple.
I tried experimenting with dhcp server, with chaging IP settings on PC, static routes but nothing worked. As mentioned internet works both WiFi and PC but PC can't see other computers on the network from LAN cable.
Please if someone can help with this problem. In my opinion it has to do with Router giving the right IP adress to PC (so PC can use IP settings that work).

Thank you for reply.
First option - the PC doesnt see other computers but have internet - that was a problem.
Second - it is a very elegant solution - i will do that!
Thank you!
