Windows 10: Wi-Fi shows name as name1, name2 & name3

I'm using windows 10 and my device is ASUS p2420la laptop, recently I've installed new wi-fi router in my home. After successfully installingmy New Router now my wi-fi shows the wi-fi in three names: Ferdousi,Ferdousi 2, Ferdousi 3.


Sometimes in active time the wi-fi become limited and then I've used Open Network & Internet Settings andTroubleshoot Problem but interesting if previously my device was connected withFerdousi then after troubleshooting it'd become connected with Ferdousi 2 or Ferdousi 3?


Is this my device problem? Or the router which cause this lunatic behavior of my device?

Trouble Changing Wi-Fi Password


I've been following the following steps to change my Wi-Fi password for some time:

1. Launch Control Panel.
2. Click "Network and Internet."
3. Click "Network and Sharing Center."
4. Click "Wi-Fi...."
5. Click "Wireless Properties."
6. Click the Security tab.
7. Check "Show characters."
8. Enter the password in "Network security key."

Those steps have been working just fine, but today I discovered a new wrinkle. If I change the password inside the router first, "Wi-Fi..." doesn't appear in step 4. This isn't much of a problem at home, because I can just change the password in Control Panel before I change it inside the router, but it would be a problem at a public hotspot, or something of that nature. I also tested Brink's instructions in "How to Connect To a Wireless Network in Windows 10," but they don't work for me either. How can I fix this?

 

Can't get two ethernet networked computers to communicate

Hi Try3,

I certainly agree that the thread is becoming difficult to follow and I appreciate your slogging through it. You may have identified one problem.

When I go Control Panel > User Accounts on either computer it says:

{Name1}
Local Account
Administrator
Password Protected
where {Name1} is the account name. (The same thing is displayed when I go to Settings > Accounts, except that the Password Protected line isn't shown.)

When I do as you suggest and at the command prompt type "net user" on either computer it responds with:

User accounts for \\DESKTOP [or \\LAPTOP]
Administrator.......{Name2}........{Name3}
DefaultAccount.....Guest.............WDAGUtilityAccount
{Name3} is the new user account I set up, which does allow both computers to share files (but which loses all the customization I have made).

When I moved from Win7 to Win10 some time ago, I was forced (for reasons that escape me now) to name my account {Name2} rather than {Name1}.

Why are there two different names ({Name1} and {Name2}) for what I thought was the same account, depending upon whether I display the information via Control Panel or Command Prompt?

The two different names add unwanted confusion, and I'd certainly like to merge them. However the situation is the same on both computers, yet I can access network files from the laptop but not from the desktop.

To answer your specific questions:

(1) I created the new {Name3} account by going to "Settings > Family & other users > Add someone else to this PC", then declining to open a Microsoft account and creating a local account instead.

(2) I'm quite sure I set the checkbox for remember credentials.

(3) The new {Name3} account exists on both computers and has the same password. The same is true for the {Name1}/{Name2} account, except for the duplicate name confusion.

(4) I agree - I want to stay with the original account with all its customization.

(5) To reduce the difficulty of following this long series of exchanges, I'll once again state the problem as I see it now:

Having set up a new administrator user account (see (1) above) I can access the other networked computer's files from either my desktop or my laptop.

With my original administrator account which may be named either {Name1} or {Name2} (see above), I can access the desktop computer from the laptop, but not v.v.

xaccell: Yes, I'm using the same password on both PCs.

 

wi fi connection

After windows 1903 update I don't have any wi fi connection or icon showing and have tried many suggestions on how to get it, but none have worked.

Can you provide a step by step instruction on how to get wi fi icon and network.
