    Networking ethernet and wireless


    Hi I have a desktop connected by ethernet cable from which I can see the laptop when opening Network, but the wireless laptop just shows media icons from the desktop. The desktop uses Network 2 name while the laptop uses the Telstra numbers from the modem connection. IP addresses desktop IPv4 10.0.0.1, laptop IPv4 10.0.0.13. DNS is the same 10.0.0.138. To share files should be an easy task but I'm finding it very hard. It seems to be because the names are different but how do I change that?

    :)

    Change Wireless Network Connection Priority Order in Windows 10


    Hello Denis, Networking ethernet and wireless :)

    The command in step 2 of Option Two should show your wireless networks listed in priority order. Top of the list is higher.

    Using a router to connect PC with Ethernet

    Well Ethernet isn't an option atm, and powerline networking depends on the wires you already have in the house (which will be very old) have any suggestions on top notch wireless network adapters?

    Unable to print to a network printer when connected to both wireless and wired networks

    Hi Eileen,

    • As far as i'm aware nothing has changed
    • i have only tried to send test pages to the network printer so im assuming so yes
    • wireless printer works fine when connected to both networks. However the wifi doesn't connect auto when an Ethernet connection is established this has to be manually connected.
    I have tried the following:

    • updated the print driver
    • changed the network port it was plugged into
    • ran windows updates
    • configured with a static
    • changed the wifi and Ethernet priority
    I will run through the trouble shoot steps as suggest and come back to you.

    FYI - he has a number of extenders dotted around, a collegue mentioned it could be a subnet issue?

    thanks, Ben
