Windows 10: Home wifi on desktop issue

I'm having trouble connecting to my home wifi network on our desktop. It was connecting a few days ago, but today it didn't. However, phones and laptops connect fine. The desktop is able to pull up our home wifi network and several others, but when we try to connect it says "can't connect to this network", so I ran the trouble shooter. It said two things "You have no preferred wireless networks" and " a network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken" ... I checked the wifi sticks that came with the desktop to enable it for wifi use and they're both fine. I tried to set up a preferred wireless network, but I keep getting the "can't connect to the network" issue, so I went to the preferred wireless network settings to try to have it forget the wireless network and try reconnecting to it, but the network wasn't there in fact it was completely empty. I tried adding it manually and am still getting the same warning in the trouble shooter. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the network drivers.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI


I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.
