After installing a new router, all devices iphones, iPads, televisions, a printer detected new router ID and successfully connected except windows 10 desktop. Interestingly a very old vista and unused Dell desktop did detect it and connected yet both desktops use the same network adaptor 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi . The desktop is hardly ever used but I really don’t want to be forced into buying a new desktop when it was working perfectly before. I did connect it by Ethernet cable to the router and whilst it established an internet connection, I then kept getting website access issues with TL

Network Data with New Router

I have changed out my Router, and now cannot get the NAS and Network Computers to show in My Network.

If I put the old router back in server they show again.

Where is there a place to delete the old router info, so the new router can provide the connections?

It appears the router MAC Address may be stored somewhere.

I have deleted the Network Adapter in the Device manager but still have not fixed the issue.

thanks for any suggestions or registery locations.

 

Need new Router

Doesn't your ISP has a list of suggested routers? If not, look for 802.11 AC Wireless routers.

 

New Router

I suggest that you
ask a question of your own as tagging posts onto existing questions does not normally attract much attention in this forum.

For your question, I suggest you use a title that sums up the problem such as
Computer keeps losing connection to the router.

In the categories that appear underneath your question, I suggest you select Windows, Windows 10, Network & internet, PC.

In your question description, I suggest you split your explanation up into the following sections to help make the situation more readily understandable. Your existing posts have comments about symptoms mixed up with comments about other subjects and it
is all very difficult to comprehend.

1 Your equipment & its configuration [Dell 23 computer running Windows 10 Home/Premium 32/64 bit, connected to home(?) network through a xxx router with a modem/cable connection to internet].

• Clarify the types of connection you have tried [LAN/WiFi].
• Clarify which bits of equipment have been replaced.
• Add a comment that your other [Win8.1?] computer connects to the router without any problems through its LAN/WiFi.

2 Any unusual applications or unusual software configurations.

• You ought to explain Drive Support & CCleaner Professional usage or you'll just get people asking you to do so later.
  
• Clarify your reference to Windows media center. It is not compatible with Windows 10.
• I never stream video so I don't know if that involves any special configurations that could usefully be explained for your readers.

3 Exactly what the problem symptoms are.

• State whether the problems are apparent only on LAN connections or also on WiFi connections.
• State whether the problems are apparent if you connect to other equipment such as a smartphone's mobile hotspot.
• Explain anything that seems to affect the symptoms such as, but not limited to, Windows update.
  
• Explain when the problem becomes apparent [when trying to connect / after doing something specific like receiving streaming video / ...]

4 What rectification action has been tried and what effect it has had.
Avoid saying "did not work" or similar as that can often mask useful information.

4.1 What you have done

• Clean reinstallation of Windows 10 Home/Premium {if I understood you correctly},
• Replacing various bits of kit [list them],
• Resetting the router,
• Setting the router up from scratch again,
• Trying a different router.

4.2 Action by Dell - both what they have done and what they have said.

4.3 Action by Geek squad - both what they have done and what they have said.

4.4 Action by anybody else - both what they have done and what they have said.

I will not be able to help as I have never had any router problems so have not developed any expertise on the subject [I have never thought routers were either compatible or incompatible with OSs. I thought they were as independent as, say, USB memory
sticks.]. My router is an Edimax BR-6226n and it works correctly with my Dells. I have also used my phone's mobile hotspot as a router sometimes and it also works correctly.

Best of luck to you,

Denis
