OK to move ethernet cable from router to computer?

Not recommended unless you are an advanced user or are willing to research and learn networking.

But the basic would be:

Option 1: Add static IPs to both, MBL and PC on the same network

Option 2: setup laptop as a DHCP server.

Best simple option for non-advanced users:

Connect PC to the router as well with an ethernet cable. This will provide you almost the same speeds as the options mentioned above.
