Windows 10: Wiredethernet connecting to router as guest network, disconnecting intermittently

Hello all,


I'm having issues with my LAN connection, as it seems to be connecting to some guest network on my router, an ASUS AC1900. I've combed through the router settings and have been unable to locate any 'guest network' option for wired connection. WiFi related guest networks have all been disabled. The issue being caused is a latency or time-out in online gaming while wired. If I use a WiFi connection to the same router, no issue. A second PC in the house connects to the correct LAN domain name. I've tried using different cables and ports at the back of the router, port forwarding, Static IP... Any thoughts on how to fix this?


The disconnect is happening while playing MW, could be 5 minutes or an hour.

Wifi not connecting to router network

My wi-fi router runs two separate networks to connect to: "RoseMagnolia" and "RoseMagnolia-Guest".

Both have been visible and available to all devices in our home including this laptop. However, recently something changed on this laptop and I am not able to connect through the primary network, RoseMagnolia. It can be seen on the list of available networks,
but has a circled X symbol next to the connection waves. It asks for a connection key, but will not connect to the network. It's now the only network that I cannot connect to automatically. I do automatically connect to the -Guest network which gives me
full internet access.

My dilemma hinges on not having access to devices, especially a wireless printer, linked through the original RoseMagnolia network.

So, all suggestions appreciated, regardless of my implied ignorance. ) How do I get back the primary network on my laptop?

wifi - unable to change guest connection to router into "normal" connection

Hello

I have run a home network for some years(windows 10), and my router is connected to the internet. As I have guests in the summertime, needing an internet connection, I have added a guest connection to my router (TP LINK). Now the problem:

recently I acquired a new laptop, with windows 10 preinstalled. During the setup of windows 10 the guest-connection to my router popped up, and I used this connection to finish the installation of windows 10.

Now I am unable to get rid of this connection. I have added the normal connection, lets call it TP_normal, to my known networks, and configured it properly. HOWEVER, IT WILL NOT APPEAR IN THE LISTING OF AVAILABLE NETWORKS., not even after rebooting. its
a nuisance. Other peoples networks appear on the list (neighborhood networks), together with my TP_guest connection, which I have tried to disable, but it keeps on popping up.

my assumption: the TP_guest connection must have been "low-level" saved to the system as the default and only possible connection to the router, during my first installation.

question: can I change registry settings to get rid of the TP_guest connection, or use some netsh command (which?) to achieve my result?

as I mentioned before, this is a real pain in the rectum for me, as I cannot get started using my new laptop, because I am unable to connect to the internet and install software (actually FSIM2020, which in fact is the reason why I had to buy a new laptop!)

with regards, hoping for assistance soon (I will definitely not use the guest connection as long as there are guests in the house)

ps: I deliberately avoided a listing of "ipconfig all", etc. etc, as I consider it not to be part of the solution, because the solution should be obvious from my above description, but maybe I am wrong here....

 

Ethernet always connects to guest network

I get this too. I have two Wi-Fi networks from the one router: MyNet and MyNet-Guest. The Ethernet adapter on my PC shows as attached to MyNet-Guest. My guess is this is irrelevant. The PC is connected to the router by cable. But MyNet-Guest is a Wi-Fi network.
Windows seems to pick up the Wi-Fi network name when it is sharing the networks for an Internet connection. At some point I will have been attached to MyNet-Guest Wi-Fi in parallel to the Ethernet cable, so Windows labelled the shared connection MyNet-Guest
- and it stuck.

This is hardly a technical explanation, but might be close to the truth.
