Windows 10: network drive is being forgotten by clienta laptop after every shutdown/network restart...

I have a desktop that acts as the host server where I have a network drive originating from it to access files with my laptop around the housewhen the laptop restarts or loses network even after the laptop connects automatically to the correct WIFI network, it cant access the network drive that I've set up, it shows a red cross on the icon instead of the usual green bar. last time it happened I tried working it out with some advice online which didn't work, In the end I had to remap the network drive from the beginning for it to work, and since then I restarted the laptop and again got back to

Help needed with simple wired network

Step one- Connect all PC's to router, and then the router to the modem. PC's go to router by the ports labeled "1-4" on the back of the router. WAN port goes to router. Power up all network equipment, and then systems.
Step two- Power on the computer connected to port one. Go into router settings at 192.168.0.1 and configure internet, dyndns, firewall, etc.
Step three- Go to "network set up wizard" in windows. (Network places- network set up wizard). The rest is self explanatory.
Step four- right click on each drive and printer you want to share, and then configure sharing preferences. Should be easy enough.
Step five- right click my computer, and the select "map network drive". Using the network address for each piece of hardware you shared, assign network drive letters.

Congratulations, you have a fully operational network. Happy Gaming! *Toast :toast:
