    Intermittent connectivity on home network


    Have a Win 8.1 PC and Win 10 laptop which can see each other at all times on the home network but only once in a while actually display each other's files and/or transfer files from one to the other. Just now the PC can display the laptop's Homegroup items (but not full C:\ listing), but not vice versa. Either computer can access the internet just fine at all times whether or not there's a working connection between them. Running default troubleshooter on either computer gives no useful information other than "seems to be configured correctly." Files transferred via sneakernet will work but it's obviously a hassle.

    Windows 10 Wifi ''Default gateway not available'' problem

    Same issue on a Lenovo T460p. Intermittently cannot connect to certain Wifi networks (both home and other networks such as a coffee shop, where a login is required). Requires running the network diagnostic each time. The problem is that sometimes running
    the network diagnostic doesn't always work - but there about three different ways to access a network diagnostic tool, so I access it through "Network & Internet Settings" << "Change Adapter Options" << [right-click on Wifi connection] Diagnose.

    Regardless, there is some sort of issue and it is a bit irritating as it can take 3-4 minutes to connect to a Wifi network.

    Lumia issue with Wi Fi connection.

    Hello all. Any thoughts on this particular issue? Thanks



    Nokia Lumia 900 Smartphone

    Windows 7.8

    OS - 7.10.8862.144

    Firmware - 2175.2307.8862.13100

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Home Network - Comcast.

    Router/Modem - **** TG862

    Encryption - WPA/WPA2-PSK-TKIP/AES

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Issue:

    Intermittent Home Wi-Fi since Phone firmware update around July 2013.

    Symptom - Phone will not connect to Home (secure) Wi-Fi on its own. It will however, connect when my Laptop (Wi-Fi) is on or when I re-boot the modem.

    There are two other household devices that use the network. An IPhone and an XBox (wireless). Neither of these have an effect on the Nokia as to connectivity.

    The phone connects to other non secure Wi-Fi networks. I've not been able yet to try another secure network.

    Summary:

    Since

    Since my upgrade to Firmware - 2175.2307.8862.13100

    Nokia Lumia 900 works fine on non-secure public networks.

    It will not connect to my Home secure network unless (Laptop Wi-Fi) is on or unless I re-boot the modem.

    Intermittent connectivity on home network

    After reviewing Sportflyer's thread (seemed a similar problem) I disabled SMB1 on both the PC and the laptop. After rebooting, each could display the other's shared content via File Explorer. This morning, after booting up, SMB1 was still disabled in the PC but apparently had re-enabled itself on the laptop. I again disabled SMB1 on the laptop, rebooted & all was fine; I could transfer and open files in either direction. Went to snowblow the driveway ~¾ hour. Upon return, (both machines merely sitting idle) the PC could see the laptop but the laptop could not see the PC. The laptop's SMB1 was still unchecked. I rebooted it and it could then see the PC shared contents; SMB1 seems to have stayed unchecked. Lot of hoop-jumping just to have a simple home network. Suggestions?
