Windows 10: Home Network - Starting Over...

I've never gotten my Win10-based home network to operate 100%. Sometimes it works for some computers, other times it just doesn't. I am starting over and want to make sure I get a clean start and possibly get this right!

What I have now is an old desktop as my home Hub - it's got the printer and photo scanner connected to it. It's getting replaced with a new laptop. I have a couple other Win10 laptops that need to connect to the new "Hub" machine for printing, scanning and file xfer. All computer connections are via wifi using an Asus AC2900 that works great. Absolutely nothing exotic here.

So, with the latest release of Win10 on all of my machines, what's the best way to "reset" back to scratch, and the best way to move forward with home networking?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Did our Epson printer get hacked?

Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.
