  1. I can access my laptop by typing in the network ID, but it is not visible as a PC in my network


    When I go to my network tab, my laptop does not show up. However, when I type the ID in the search bar I am then able to log in. I can access it so that's good, but I just don't want to have to type it in every time. I have tried resetting the network adapter and made sure SMB and all other permissions are correct. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

  2. Losing network connection

    Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

    2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
    In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

    3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

    4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

    I Hope you solve out your query soon.

  3. Issues while accessing PC over the network

    Hi Cliff,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while accessing the PC’s over the network. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.



    1. Have you connected both the laptops to the same network through which the PC is connected?
    2. Which build version of Windows is installed on the PC’s?


    Refer the article
    Which version of Windows operating system am I running?




    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try connecting the PC to the main router and see if you are able to access the laptops.



    If you are able to access the laptops, then we need to configure the network settings once again. You can refer the suggestions by
