I have two wireless routers in order to reach all parts of my home/office. Call them R1 and R2. R1 is the one integrated with my modem, and the one that reaches most of my home. R2 is quite a ways away, and reaches remote parts of my home. In my normal operations, my PC connects to R1 because its signal is stronger.
If I am logged in to R1, I do get a stronger signal, but can't "see" the other network computers in File Explorer. If I log in to R2, all PCs on the network are visible, and file sharing, network printing, backups, etc. work as expected. Apparently, R2 is the "master" in my network. (R1, however, is the DHCP server...)
How can I change that so R1 becomes the "master"?
