Windows 10: my network keeps resetting to a different network. Network 2

So Comcast is who we have our internet service with and they did an update to our systems like 1 week ago and then most people here had network connectivity issues. We fixed them mostly with a network reset and a windows update. Problem is it continues to happen almost everyday. Now my audio does not work at all and I can't print. This reset the network deal multiple times a day has to end!! I don't have the time or patience to reset every day.

2 computers 2 different networks

Welcome to the TenForums @Cherepes

I going to suggest we go right back to square one.

First unplug your router, wait 20 secs and plug back in.

Then of both laptops do the following steps

Create restore points.

Next I going to suggest we reset your network totally. There are trouble shooters you may wish to try, but you've likely already tried some. Resetting the network means you loose all wireless passwords. I know you are using wire but if you have some saved wireless passwords they are erased.

Click on Start => Settings => Network and Internet

Scroll down on right window, at the bottom "Reset network".

Reboot.

Then decide which device should initiate Homegroup. On that device right on network icon in systray, lower right of screen, Open network and sharing center, lower left of Window that opens clcik on Homegroup, then Create a homegroup.

Then on other device join the homegroup.

Post back please

Losing network connection

Hello Dear, if you have a laptop or a PC with a wireless network adapter, you can see a list of available wireless networks and then connect to one of those networks. The wireless networks will only appear if your PC has a wireless network adapter installed, the adapter is turned on, and the wireless access point is in range.

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.

2. In the left pane, under Network Tasks, click View available wireless networks.
In case, If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Refresh network list. If you see the network but the signal is weak, move the PC closer to the wireless router.

3. Click the network you want to connect to, and then click Connect.

4. If you're connecting to a secure network, type the security key, and then click OK.

I Hope you solve out your query soon.

 

Networking

Yeah, I don't have a base station in my network. The router is controlled remotely over the LAN from any PC that is connected to the network.
