    Can I connect computers between two routers?

    Sorry in advance, I'm not a big networking guy. The best way to illustrate what I'm asking is to show it in this diagram:


    windows 10 pro not showing "you can also connect by pushing the button on the router." CN8Sw89.png

    I need to be able to establish file sharing on Windows from "Laptop" to "PC-1" and "PC-2". Laptop is running Windows 10 Pro, and both PCs have Windows 7 Pro.

    Things I cannot do:

    • Rewire this setup.

    Things I can do:

    • Change admin configuration on any router.

    Any suggestions how to do this?

    Adding Routers and Printers to a PC running Windows 10 Pro

    The way I would handle this is to reset the router, you at the moment do not know how the device is setup - DHCP could be disabled so there is no way it will auto allocate IP addresses

    You will need to do some research as to ...


    • The reset procedure - normally there is an inset button that needs to be pressed for a few seconds
    • The administrator Name
    • The administrator Password
    • The default device IP address (the gateway address)

    This information should be available online , (if not printed on the back / base of the device

    Once you have this information a simple connection should allow access to the internal settings, Also you should check if a specific port must be used for this initial setup

    If you are not sure of the way to proceed, post the full details of the router(s) involved and we will try to find and provide you with a step by step solution

    New Router - Windows connected to internet but shows not connected

    Hi,

    Apologies, for my late response.

    The Problem is still there. I have tried all the steps including uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them. I think if I give you a brief background it may help.

    My computer is what you call an assembled one with majority parts from ASUS (motherboard, graphics card, wireless card etc.). I updated to Windows 10 a while back and it has been working fine. Only issue I had for last month or two was that it was not letting
    me install new apps or update existing especially Netflix one. I didn't pay attention to it. About six months ago, I updated my modem/router and had no problems.

    Recently, I relocated and had to go with a different Internet provider as old one did not provide to new address. The new provider supply their own router/modem (Telstra). I set up the new connection through my Mobile as per steps provided along with
    the new router. I did not have my computer with me at the time. When I got my computer, I tried to connect it to the new router. The computer shows my router in the wireless list and connects to to but shows no internet. But if you use google chrome or microsoft
    edge they connect to internet even though the symbol at the bottom shows no connection. This, to me, shows there is a connection and some software issue is telling windows that there is none. As I use MS Office 365 especially MS Outlook adn MS
    Word this is causing me issue as windows internal packages are not connecting to internet.

    hope this helps you fix the problem

    regards,

    Bikram Singh
