    Computers having unstable communication over network


    Computers on my network are able to connect to each other, but occasionally just not communicate. I've turned off the firewalls for the computers and the private network in my office. I switched out the GS724tv4 in hopes that it would fix it.


    This is all started after someone accidentally killed the power for the off and quickly turned it back on again.


    After spending hours looking through articles and learning how a switch even works, I still have no clue how to fix this issue.


    Anyone have any ideas? Everything helps. Thanks.

    :)

  2. Network Communication problem with multiple computers

    Hi Jay,

    Thank you for responding.

    I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Network discovery might be blocking you from seeing other computers and devices on the network. Check if the Network discovery is turned on. If the network discovery setting on your computer is set to off, you
    won't see other computers and devices on the network.

    Steps to Turn on network discovery.

    • Press Windows key, type sharing and click on
      Manage advanced sharing settings.
    • Under Private, Network discovery, check mark the option
      Turn on network discovery.
    • Try the same on all the computers connected to the network.

    Method 2: If the issue still persists, run
    HomeGroup troubleshooter and check.

    HomeGroup troubleshooter finds and fix problems with viewing computers or shared folders in a HomeGroup.

    • Press Windows key, type troubleshooting
      and select it.
    • Click on View all in the left pane and click on
      HomeGroup
      .
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of this issue for further assistance.

    WiFi Connectivity unstable on Windows 10 Computer

    Hi Wilf,

    It's possible that some settings on your computer were affected after installing an upgrade since you mentioned that this intermittent network connection that you're experiencing only started after that. We'd like to learn more about your concern so we could
    provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

    • Which build version of Windows 10 is on your computer? To check, click
      Start
      , type winver, and press Enter.
    • Are other devices able to connect to your WiFi network without any problems?
    • Have you checked with your Internet Service provider if there are any outages in your area?
    We also suggest that you go through each and every troubleshooting step recommended in this article:

    . A lot of our community members have found the steps in that article very useful in solving connectivity issues.
