Windows 10: unable to access windows 10 pc with android devices

hi guys hoping someone here can help as iam at my wits end*Mad
i have a dell optiplex 755 running win 10 pro 1511 connected via Ethernet to a tenda w548d wireless router ive been trying to connect to it with my android phone and an android tv box neither of them can find the win 10 pc ive tried a few different apps on my phone es file explorer and file-manager hd and have tried to add my shared drive with the tv box through kodi and their both saying theres nothing there. ive checked that the share permission is set to everyone , ive made sure local discovery is switched on, enabled webbios over tcp/ip. ive switched off multicast switches to unicast on my router the router itself is showing the pc's ip under the wireless section so why cant i cannot find it is beyond me ive also tried turning the firewall off in windows but nothing seems to work so any ideas you guys have would be great
thanks in advance

Android Devices not showing up as MTP (Portable Media) Devices on Windows 10

my windows 10 pc not show portable device in device manager, i unable copy image from my android phone

 

Bluetooth Mouse disconnects regularly on windows 10

I'm facing the same issue here. I have tested my mouse (logitech m535) on two different windows 10 PCs, and two android devices. I have not had any disconnection issues on the android devices. The windows 10 PCs will occasionally drop the connection to the
mouse, only reconnecting if 'show bluetooth devices' is accessed via the system tray.

I get the impression this is a windows 10 issue.

 

You have to turn on DLNA sharing. It is not enough to just share and give permissions. Click on Cortana and type media streaming options. She should give you a link right to control panel applet. Enable it.

 

cheers dude but i tried that this morning with no joy

 

restarted router this morning and woolaaa it showing fine now woohooo not sure what out of the multiple things i tried it was but i can now access my shares no problems

 

and its back again power cut caused every thing to restart and cant do a thing again tried a few things the last few days that i thought solved it the last time but nout so any surgestions welcome

 

A very good app for checking networks from Android is Fing. Install this and see what it sees on your network. It will allow you to ping devices as well.

While you are at it, install Wifi Analyzer as well!

Both are free.

 

thanks dude i downloaded fing and it shows router and phones just no windows machine ive been using wifi net watch on the windows 10 machine which just shows the router and the win 10 machine so iam guessing there on seperate networks some how wich is really anoying as i cant find a setting in the router to make them one. really not sure what to try now guessing its something to do with the router just not sure what

 

What are the IP numbers showing on Fing? Router IP is ?

On the win 10 PC, run ipconfig from the command prompt. What is the IPv4 IP address and what is the gateway address?

 

both showing router as 192.141.1.2 and win pc is 192.168.1.141

 

You are showing different subnets so that needs fixing. The 192.141 is odd. Your subnet should be 192.168.1.x

But it is not clear from your post what the gateway IP is.

Describe the network as well. Is the router you mention a separate router or is it the gateway device as in modem router?

 

sorry dude my bad there all on same subnet i think bad typo the defult gateway is 192.168.1.2 on the win 10 machine.
the router is a Tenda w548d v2 its an ADSL2+ router with integrated wireless access point + 4 port ethernet switch.
thanks for taking the time to help figure this out as its been driving me bonkers

 

With being on the same subnet, and (hopefully) having the mask as 255.255.255.0, there is no apparent reason why your win 10 comp shouldn't be seen.
But it is interesting that it did show briefly. I will say that sometimes routers don't relay traffic from wireless to LAN reliably. In fact, one of my routers has this fault. So, maybe that is what you are seeing?

Perhaps google to see whether that modem/router has this fault?

Good luck.
