Hello,
i have a netis 4322 modem+router on my home network, and i only have one pc connected by wires, all other devices are connected wireless.
if i connect a separate (tplink) router to the main modem router, and connect my pc to the secound router, will it give better performance on the pc or would it be the same?
thanks

As described, it would probably be slightly worse since now you are double NAT'd. That's assuming you connected that second router's WAN to a LAN port on the primary router.

Where you *might* get better performance is if you could configure that ISP's modem+router into bridge mode. That would demote the ISP's device into just a modem, and now your router would be the primary router. And assuming your own router had better specs (most ISP devices are very low-end, budget devices), you might see some improvement. Not a lot, but perhaps some.
