I couldn't find the manual, so my best assessment is that there is some sort of latch that can be opened and locked for that door in the run. You can check the run door to see if there is a hole along the side which will help with the orientation. If there does not appear to be a latching mechanism you might be able to get a small piece of wood, with a hole drilled through, to the side of the run door as well as the bottom of the run and that 'key' can be inserted to keep it closed. I don't think you will need that 'key' specifically though, just a long wooden or medal dowel that can be fashioned and is thin enough to fit through the existing hole from the outside to reach and secure the door closed.
You can certainly keep using the Netgear X4, make sure to log into it and double check the firmware is up to date. If this was my setup I would disable the wireless of the Netgear alltogether, and use the Deco for wifi. You can use 3 ethernet runs to connect the Deco pods to various areas in the home. If the coverage is sufficient there will be no need for the Netgear wireless broadcast. Is this a touch overkill? Maybe... but it will simplify the setup tremendously.
After the Deco is setup, make sure you change it from Router mode to Access Point mode to avoid double NAT, and various other issues. You will have 1 ethernet port left on the Netgear on the main floor for anything else, and (depending on the Deco model) 1 or 2 ethernet ports at each pod to use. You can a2lays break this connection out further with a cheap gigabit unmanaged switch.
If you are a bit tech savvy you can try a similar setup with the Orbi and Eero, but will have the added burden of managing those devices with their own own app. You will also lose the graceful wireless handoff that you will get from a dedicated mesh network. In theory you can give the Orbi and Eero the same wifi name (SSID) and password, which will simplify your devices connecting to wifi as you roam around the house.
Depending on prices for additional units, you can certainly purchase more Orbi and Eero pods instead and go that route. As mentioned, you will want to pick one or the other. Personally I would choose Eero 6 for the WiFi 6 capabilities.
Look into a proper modem. For the current Netgear, what model number is it?
For distributed wifi I would ditch the current setup and go with a 3 pod TP-Link Deco X series model. X20 and above I believe have an additional IoT band (if you plan on getting smart devices in the home). The X20 or X50 model should suffice and regularly go on sale.
Your post suggests you have ethernet between 2 areas, so you can use this cable run to wire the main pod to another for full speeds using the wired backhaul. The 3rd unit should work well wirelessly if it is within 30-45ft.
I work at a telecom and these systems seem to work well and we get very few call backs with people reporting issues.
You have mentioned the controller works well with other games, correct? If so, a few things I would look into:
If Steam recognizes the controller you are off to a good start. You can test functionality is working from a site like https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad
In Heroic Games, you can click on your Dead Rising 2 in the library, from here you click on the dots (or the 3 bars, unable to verify as I am not at my home machine) at the top right and can go into 'Game Properties' to rename the game as TachyonTele mentioned.
You will also see that on this menu there is a quick way to add the game to Steam. After you fix the name, try adding it this way.
Try launching the game from Steam, then go into settings -> keyboard/controller and try to default the config and see if this resolves the troubles!
Blender has a video editor as part of its suite. If you are not familiar with video editing software there are a lot of tutorials on YouTube to get you started. Otherwise the building blocks are there and you can build off of your previous knowledge and likely get the results you are looking for.
If you want to look into modding you can check out the NEW Nexus Mods App (Linux friendly version) [https://nexus-mods.github.io/NexusMods.App/]
It currently has limited game support but Cyberpunk 2077 and Stardew Valley are good!

Wishing you the best in your project there!
It looks like this unit here: https://www.yes4pets.com.au/products/yes4pets-green-large-chicken-coop-rabbit-hutch-ferret-guinea-pig-cage-hen-chook-cat-kitten-house
Looks like the hinges for the run door are installed inverted. That may be all that you need to fix to get it to close. (https://www.yes4pets.com.au/cdn/shop/files/CC214.alt_2.jpg?v=1730286090&width=600)

Hope this explanation helps!!

Correct, Owen Wilson in Stick. I enjoyed the first season as it was a very heartwarming show.
Maybe this one? [https://danielgamedev14.itch.io/a-survival-game]
Seconded. I got a mouth guard to stop grinding my teeth and since using it my wife (and smartwatch) suggest my snoring has stopped. Double win!

Congrats on your release!! Game looks polished and fun. Any plans for a Switch release?
What version of Blender do you have running? You can try to add yourself to the video and render group which may get it working. In terminal:
