Network Help with 3 PCs on MiFi

eRazor · Dec 13, 2019

I've been trying to set up a wireless network for almost a year now to no avail.

Pretty tired of walking back and forth around the house from PC to PC.

Tried to follow pre-post instructions . . . and am not sure what to do to get help.

Here's info on what I have so far, please advise on what else you may need.

1 Laptop Win 10 Home
2 Desktops Win 10 Pro

I'm using a Verizon-MiFi7730L

Malwarebytes 3.8.3
Windows Defender? Windows Security?

I ran the IP config on the laptop and the run Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector and got screen shots.

I have never used Paint before and got confused. Are you looking for a *.jpg of these files?

All I want to do is get into any of my computers from any computer with full access and control. No one else
uses these but me so at home security is not an issue.

I also have a .txt IP config file from the laptop . . . let me know what you need please.

I can see all my PCs from the other PCs but I keep getting access denied no matter what I do.

I've probably made a giant mess of the settings out of ignorance and thus very tired of walking back and forth.

So I'm hoping you all can help me.

I'll give you some things to read while waiting for anyone familiar with MiFi who can offer much better assistance than me.

First I looked up MiFi and found this
What is MiFi? - Definition from WhatIs.com

Notice it says you need to create an ad-hoc network. So I went searching and found out how to do this in Windows 10.
Simple Steps for Setting up an Ad Hoc Wireless Network

I studied your screenshot and under network type it says access point. That led me to believe that you have your network set up as infrastructure rather than ad-hoc. That's probably why you have issues getting sharing to cooperate.

I've never used anything like MiFi and I don't run Windows 10 so there is no way I can test to see if the above works.

What do you think is causing this error?

Seems no matter what I do after reading many articles and how to on network settings the result is always this:
