Head across to <a href=\"https:\/\/windowsreport.com\/avast-firewall-blocking-network-share\/\">Avast Firewall is Blocking Network Share<\/a>. Windows Report explains very clearly how to resolve this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry there is no picture for this. I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m allowed to screenshot for copyright, so you get a blank screen for this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have a Mesh Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our mesh network has given us a much improved Wi-Fi experience. We have an odd shaped house, and wherever we put the extender, we had dead zones in crucial spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mesh works very well. Some of the devices will automatically switch to the nearest node if you move around. But our laptops tend to hang onto the one they&#8217;re connected to. So when you move, sometimes you need to disconnect and reconnect to pick up a nearer node.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to find a source to explain this. But in Avast, it refers to nodes by mesh_name1, mesh_name2. In other words somewhere there is a node name which maps to the mac address of the node. And when you change, it is getting a new alias to the network. Now these numbers are increasing in the Avast firewall, and I need to find out where to find more about the actual connection is stored. Perhaps this place needs cleaning out. But I need to find an IT expert to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course you first need to check there is nothing wrong with the server.
