I've set up a new router downstairs that's connected to an upstairs router via Ethernet. It's been working fine, but I'm experiencing occasional short drops in connection. I just hooked it up to the previous router without doing a reset. I'm wondering if I should reset the upstairs router and configure it as an access point to improve the connection quality or if that's even necessary.

If you're trying to have a more stable connection and extend the reach of your network, it could be beneficial to set your upstairs router as an access point. This can help manage the connection better. Just make sure to configure it properly to avoid any conflicts.

I was mainly looking to use Ethernet, not Wi-Fi, so I'm not sure if that helps.
