    Unable to see network location


    Hi everyone,
    I have a USB drive connected to my TP-LINK Archer VR600 router.
    I've successfully set this drive as a network location on my laptop (running windows 10) with no issues whatsoever.
    However, when trying to do the exact same thing on my desktop PC, I'm unable to see drive on my network at all.
    I've tried switching to a static IP, tried connecting the PC using both wired and wireless connections and made sure the network settings are identical on both machines but had no luck.
    When the laptop is on, I can see it on my network as well as other device connected to the router (phones, TV, printer, etc), just not the drive.

    Laptop network locations:

    The router (with the drive) shows up just fine.

    PC network locations:

    Same exact network, no router. Everything else works fine.

    Any ideas?

    :)
