Model: Archer BE3600  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.5

I have 2 Windows 11 PCs connected to the BE3600 router(5Gz) as a LAN but I am unable to see them in Windows File Explorer to share files. Microsoft support confirms that I have done all the necessary setups to make the connections sharable and has directed me to TP-Link support for a possible solution. I have disabled my Bitdefender Firewall on both PCs, but this doesn't seem to be the problem. Is there a setting(s) in the BE3600 router that could be causing this problem?

  @optimxr Sharing in Windows 11 has been bad since they turned off SMB1.0 by default. 

to double check some stuff, go into the Network settings and select Advanced Sharing Settings.  Make sure you are set up for Network Discovery and  File and Printer sharing.  Also make sure all connections say Private as their current profile.
