I have a Network set up with a Win10 desktop wired to an 8800NL (R1) via powerline (yes, I know... ). Two W10 laptops and Canon printer on wifi. All normally 'well', all can see each other.
Along comes the dreaded M$ update. Now the desktop cannot see the laptops (but bizarrely can see the printer?) Both laptops can 'see' the PC.
When I look at the 'Network' on the desktop it shows 'Ethernet3/private' as the connection.
There is obviously something I need to change! The question is, is it a router setting or can I 'direct' the desktop to join the wifi network?
Network help please.

Re: Network help please.
Would anyone have any ideas as to why this happened?

Re: Network help please.
UPDATE:
Laptop 2 can see Laptop 1 and Desktop. I can ping Laptop 2 from Desktop
Laptop1 can see Router and 'WMP' as a 'Media Player' on itself. I cannot ping Laptop1 from Desktop
Desktop can only see Router and Laptop1 WMP as a 'Media Player'
Colour me confused! I have done two router restarts. The betting is that at some indeterminate time this morning all will become 'normal' with no actual intervention by me.
I am also having issues with access here - although showing 'logged in' when I try to reply I have to re-log in!

Re: Network help please.
What firmware version are you running (the full fw version)) so we can rule out the router as the issuenigelb wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 9:27 am UPDATE:

Regarding the forum, when logging in try ticking the 'remember me' option on the login page

Re: Network help please.
The firmware version you are on shouldn't have a issue with seeing devices on the network.
I have attached the latest firmware for your reference.
You might want to check your network discovery options/check firewall options on each PC.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Network help please.
Software now 2.32e.d16. No changes sadly. All network settings are, as far as I know, OK and have not been changed since before yesterday's dog walk.
Wireless driver shows 6.30.102.7.cpe4.12L08.4
Will I need to restore the conf from the backup? I have/had? multicast settings
PS This time did not have to log in again!
