Windows 10: Home wifi network disabled after Comcast security system install

I just had Comcast install their home security system, including 2 cameras. Prior to that my system looked like this: An ethernet cable connected from desktop to the modem/router. My Ethernet connection was called ‘network 3’. My wifi was working perfectly: both laptops could talk with the desktop & with each other; the desktop could talk to both laptops. The internet worked fine.

Now to the Comcast install: the tech installed a small router connecting one end of the Ethernet cable coming from the modem to the new router and then connecting another cable from the new router to my desktop. (Essentially sticking it in between the connection I used to have). This changed my wifi status: both laptops will talk to each other but not to the desktop; the desktop will not talk with either laptop. And the Ethernet network is now called ‘network 2’. (The internet still works fine). How do I go about re-establishing my home network? I'm using Windows 10.

Thanks, cliff k

Comcast email will not sync when connected to WIFI

Can you sync Comcast email on a different WiFi network other than your home network?

I would also recommend using the preferred server port setting and SSL as noted by Comcast from a security standpoint. That's important while away from home...

 

WiFi issue in the secured network?

Greetings hirababulogantha,

The following are troubleshooting steps I use myself whenever I get odd disconnects on any of my mobile devices that always seem to resolve this type of issue.

To turn Off/On Wifi

• Go to Settings on the phone
• Navigate and tap Wifi
• Flick Wifi off or on.

Remove a stored(known) network

• Go to Settings on the phone
• Navigate and tap Wifi
• Flick Off Wifi
• Tap Advanced
• Tap and hold on the university network then tap Delete.
• Flick On Wifi
• Tap the university network to connect to it again.

Best Regards,

 

disable 2.4ghz network

First, get the computer to forget your current network:

• Click the Network icon on the lower right corner of your screen.
• Click Network settings.
• Click Manage Wi-Fi settings.
• Under Manage known networks, click the network you want to delete.
• Click Forget. The wireless network profile is deleted.

Next, go into your router and either completely disable the 2.4GHz radio or set the 2.4 and the 5G radios to different SSIDs, maybe the 2.4 can be your guest Wifi...

Then, on your computer, only join the 5Ghz SSID network.

The suggestion in the post above to just disable the SSID broadcast of the 2.4Ghz radio will probably not work, your computer will still join it.
