Windows 10: W10 network works one way only (both PCs not visible)

Reader's Digest version: Both of us are on the same network through an Asus RT-AC56R router. Both are running Windows 10, fully patched, checked w/ Belarc. My network is visible to her system and public files accessible. Hers, and the usb printer on her PC are NOT visible at all to my side of the network. It's as though her system isn't on the network.

Every setting in network sharing matches. I've checked several times to be certain both PCs have the exact same Advanced Network Sharing settings.

I am also running Linux Mint 64-bit as a dual boot. Needless to say, networking using Linux is PERFECT. Any suggestions?

Thank you *Smile

ASUS ET2701 Windows10 and WIFI

Has anyone using the ET2701 experienced an issue with WIFI on Windows10? Sometimes both of my wifi networks are not visible on this PC but work fine and are visible on other devices. The only way I can make them visible to connect to is to restart the router.
This also happened when I was using W8.1 on this PC and had a different router. The odd thing is that other wifi signals that belong to neighbours are still visible but not mine. Information in Device Manager is that this PC is using the following network
adaptor:- Qualcomm Atheros AR9485WB-EG Wireless Network Adapter - Driver version 3.0.2.201

I am not using the WLAN_AzureWave_NB097_Win8_64_V100075 software that was supplied when this PC was originally supplied with W8

 

Network computers: one one, both computers visible, on the other, none

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I appreciate if you could answer the below questions to narrow down the issue and to provide you better assistance.

• Are you using Home group to connect the computer?
• Did you make any changes to the computer prior to this issue?
• Did you run the Home Group trouble shooter?

You may follow the below steps to check the network discovery is turned on in both computers.

1. You may type advanced sharing in the search box, and then tapping or clicking Manage advanced sharing settings.

2. Tap or click the chevron to expand the Private network profile.

3. Tap or click Turn on network discovery, place a tick mark for turn on automatic setup of network connected devices, Allow windows to manage homegroup network and then tap or click save changes. You might be asked for an admin password or
to confirm your choice.

If you have not run the Home group troubleshooter, you may also run the Home Group troubleshooting, if you are facing issues with connecting to the network.

1. On the search bar type “Troubleshooting”

2. Click on “View all”

3. Click on “Home Group” and run the troubleshooter.

If the issue still persists, if you are not signed in as an administrator, Sign out from the current user account, restart the PC and login to the administrator account to check if that helps.

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to disable antivirus software (and any other security software) and firewall on the computer as a test and check if that fixes the issue.

Disclaimer: Antivirus software helps protecting your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other
software and\or troubleshoot any pertinent issue, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you are connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to malware attacks.

Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

I would recommend you to check for latest Windows Updates. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates. If you have any pending updates remaining to install, kindly install them and check if it helps.

Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

This is a known W10 bug. It is to do with which PC is the Master Browser, the one that is can see the network and other one can't. Not sure when MS will provide a fix for this. A work around is to start up your PC's in a different order then you will find the situation is reversed.
