Firmware Version: 1.2.4 build 20190403 rel .63869(4555)

some weeks ago I added a new msi laptop to my wireless lan. the name of the msi laptop was msi (from factory) but appeared in tp-link admin as workgroups name. then I CHANGED THE NAME to "gamsi", but I am unable to connect to the other laptops on my LAN, AND I am also unable to connect to the "gamsi" msi-laptop from the other laptops. now i discovered that the name GAMSI APPAERS TWICE IN ARCHERS NETWORK MAP: WITH DIFFERENT IP-ADDDRESS! SO NO WONDER THAT i cannot connect. how to fix the issue? i first thougth it was windows10 isssue, or msi-issue but now it seems it is tp-link issue. please heltp

Hi folks - found out to day: it is not a router issue, it is MSI LAPTOP WINDOWS 10 HOME issue. I found an old router, d-link, still working. The same issue: the MSI LAPTOP cannot connect to other laptops on the wireless LAN, and vice versa. I suspect a corrupt installation of windows10 on my MSI LAPTOP. I felt it appropriate to post this message, just to make things clear.
