No shares with WiFi

[gjf]

Hi All

I have some strange issue.

There is a network printer in our office, several workstations. The connection is different: printer has wired connection to the router (Asus RT-AC66U with Merlin fw), PCs are both wired and wireless.

The situation happens when I try to reach the network via 2.4 MHz WiFi: when I try to open Network Neigbourhood it is often I cannot see neither shares, nor other workstations. Sometimes it can be repaired after WiFi switched off and on on my PC, but it doesn't help always. The printer is not connected always and cannot be used. In the same time I have an access to Internet.

When I use wired connection on my PC there is absolutely no problem.

The firewall is disabled on my PC, OS is Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.

Possibly the problem is in my WiFi adapter settings, so here they are.

The adapter is Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230.

Ha, looks like problem becomes solved even before anyone responds

It was not downgrading, it was proper changing WiFi encryption.
