move the router to the modem, and put a hub/switch where you had the router.
router should do wifi, dns, dhcp and use the modem as gateway, keep the modem as stupid as possible.

If PC1 and PC2 are far away and don't have Wi-Fi (hardwired only) then doing that will not work. How is the new hub/switch supposed to connect to the router which you moved to the other side of the house?

That assumes that PC1 has Wi-Fi, which I assume it does not.

a wifi stick? these are quite cheap...
Still, the best thing to do here, is to remove all routing/wifi from modem and connect it to the router. all pcs in the network should be connected to the router. As someone wrote before "keep the modem as stupid as possible".

How do you have two devices connected to the modem?? Your modem has Wi-Fi?
Comment has been collapsed.
You said it was a modem, not a router with a modem, but anyway, it is not the same if your router/modem does not support wireless bridging.

You need to use wireless bridging which I am not sure if most current routers support. I use WDS but they are old routers and I don't know if routers use that protocol anymore.

If you are getting ping you are on the right track...
Can you ping PC1 to PC2 and viceversa? if so:
Make sure both PC are on the same subnet with same gateway (your router IP)
Make sure Both PC have same workgroup name.
Have you turn your firewalls off for testing?

Hello everyone, need a little help with networking.
This is the scheme of my network at home. I need my computers to be able to see each other, so I can share stuff with the other one, I can only ping from one to other one, but I'm not able to see the other one in the network, all I can see is the device, that the computer is connected to, but I can't see any "deeper" in this network.
Any idea how do I do this?
