Missing Computers in Explorer

[Alleyman]

Over the past few months I've noticed most of the computers on my network don't show up in the network in Explorer - Network. I can manually type in the computer's address, ex. \\Server, but they are not showing in Explorer. They also show in Genie. They are all on home network. I have similar issues on the macs - finder. Any suggestions. Thanks!

We have 2 - WNDR3700v4 Firmware V1.0.1.52
1 - the main router 1- AP
DHCP enabled on main router

We run anywhere for 30-75 devices at any given time

Sounds like a master browser issue, that or netbios/lldp is disabled on some of them.

turn on network visibilty on the client computers and make sure they are attached to your network and not an unidentified one.

i usually have that problem when my router (pfsense) hasn't been booted because a power outage or whatever.

Thanks for the responses. However, I'm not really sure what you guys are referring to. I'm obviously somewhat of a newbie.

What is a Master Browser Issue?

How do you check network visibility?

How do you correct the boot problem?

Thanks!

I ran net view from the command prompt on 2 different Win 7 PCs. It only shows itself as being on the network. They are both on the WORKGROUP. I'm so confused.
