video connect

I have an LG OLED CR PUB HDMI 2.1.  Recently purchased a Lyngdorf MP 60 2.1 (HDMI) a/v processor.  Looking for advice on optimal video connection.  Previously the LG was connected directly to internet via modem LAN ethernet for NETFLIX, Apple TV etc. My previous  a/v processor, Mcintosh MX122 (HDMI 2.0 b), was connected to LG via ARC HDMI for audio only.  So no video connection between the LG OLED and the MX122 processor.  The Lyngdorf is HDMI 2.1 and I am wondering  would it be better to pass the video through the Lyngdorf to the LG OLED than the direct connection of the LG OLED to the internet modem via ethernet?  If advice is to have video go from the the Lyngdorf to the LG OLED please advise on the proper connections.

Thank you.

Ok sound logical but how do I connect the processor.  For streaming would, Netflix etc, would the processor be connected via lan ethernet of the processor to the internet modem then HDMI out to the tv?

Auxinput,
In regards to the ROKU if installed, I would no longer be using the streaming function of the LG OLED?  So connection for video pass through would go as follows: modem to Roku via ethernet
Roku to Lyngdorf via HDMI in
Lyngdorf to LG OLED via HDMI out.

What about Audio? would both signals, audio and video, be delivered to the Lyngdorf via  HDMI from the ROKU to to the Lyngdorf HDMI in?
What about the EARC HDMI of the Lyngdorf?
