Network invisible

[Neon_Noodle]

I have a small WIFI network, two Win10 and a Win7 PC connected to my WIFI router. The Win7 PC is wired to the router, the others are wireless. All three can access the Internet w/o issue but I can’t get them to see each other and exchange files. Currently I am using a removable USB stick to move files around. I’ve tried setting up the Home Network but am not getting it right or something.

While network sharing is fairly easy to setup (once you know where to look), it can be a maintenance issue moving forward.
Not high maintenance, but needing to be ‘fixed’ every now and then.
Of course give the above guidance a go, but also consider either;
[ul]
[li]a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device that plugs directly into the modem/router and is available for all users on the network to use. Plus makes an ideal backup medium.[/li][li]Cloud storage like OneDrive or DRopBox or that sort. If you have a Office365 subscription, you probably already have OneDrive storage available.[/li][li]Some modem/routers have a USB slot that allows for a connected USB stick to be shared across the network.[/li][/ul]
