You still don't quite understand what I'm doing, so here's a diagram
(needs monospace font):
[My Laptop] --- wireless connection IPv4 --- [Router] --- Internet Modem
| / |
| CAT5 cable IPv6 / |
| / | wireless/wired
[My Desktop] --- wireless connection IPv4 __/ | connections
| IPv4

[TVs]

… but meanwhile *I* can carry on using them both on the Internet
while transfers are taking place, and the TVs are unaffected by
any excessive traffic through the router.
In the case where a desktop is wired to the router, then just that
PC would lose its connectivity to all other machines (except
[My Laptop] of course) during a CAT5 connection (assuming it had
just the usual single ethernet port).
Cheers,
David.
