if you want to create a network between your dev and a source then dont worry about dual routers.
It does take some learning but create a second subnet on your router and connect the dev and mac on a dedicated switch.
for instance if your current home network is 192.168.1.1 then the second subnet will be 192.168.2.1 which only your mac mini and devialet exist on.
the mac mini would be 192.168.2.1 and the dev 192.168.2.2.
if you create the second subnet with a gateway to your router it will still have access to the internet but no other devices on your network will be able to see or communicate with the devialet which means that the dedicated switch wont have any traffic going through it except the traffic from the mac and dev.
