How do I map from my wireless laptop to my wired desktop DECO S4
I have the Deco S4 wireless up an running.
I have a WIN 10 desktop PC that is hardwired to my Deco S4 main router
Info:
I know my main router’s ip address [eg. \\192.1.1\] and my desktop ip address. [eg. \\192.1.2\]
My desktop C drive is set up for sharing
I am trying to map to from my wireless lapto to my desktop [ie wired] C drive, any ideas on the WIN 10 map format?

I did uncover a simplier way w/o having to use IP address mapping :(
1) make sure your wired Drive has security. refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pl59ODaP6no
2) Define the wired Drive sharing
-
- Windows + E
- Select desired drive
- click Sharing tab
- click Advanced Sharing
- click Sharing tab again and Advanced Sharing
- select ‘Share this Folder’ checkbox. [use meaningful name ‘C_Main’
- click Permissions
- click Add
- add ‘everyone’ select full control
- click apply
- click apply. Before closing note the ‘network name’ eg. \\DELL-1237\C_Main. This is very important
3) map wireless laptop to shared drive
-
- Windows + E
- On Home tab, click easy access
- Choose drive letter
- Type in network name e.g. \\DELL-1237\C_Main.
- Checkbox ‘reconnect at login’ if desire
- Do NOT select ‘connect using different credentials’
- Click Finish

Did you give the windows 10 wired PC a static IP address-192.1.2.xxx?
You could try to modify the subnet mask. The default is 255.255.255.0 and you can change it to 255.255.252.0 so 192.1.1.x could be in the same segment as 192.1.2.x.
