I have now fitted a TP-Link wireless router. setting to give me wireless
broadband in the kitchen was very straight forward. However when connected
in the kitchen we can't see any of the other computers in the house on the
laptop.

When logged into my BT hub from the main house computer I can see all the
computers including the ones connected to the hub in the kitchen, but from
the network screen on the actual computer they are not visible, Job for
tomorrow I think as the machine in the kitchen is new and has windows 8
(wish it didn't!) and I am struggling a bit to find where they have hidden
everything.

Its not critical as we seldom file share but it is a bit irritating as you
know that you should be able to!!


If you check back up the threads, you will find words of caution over using
a wireless router instead of a wireless access point.
