    Your dificulties have nothing to do with your wireless router. It has everything to do with your computers. Networking is not plug and play. Try the below steps....

    1) Set your workgroup name on the two computers. This needs to be the same name on both computers.

    2) Turn on file and printer sharing. This must be done on both computers.

    3) Put the IP address of the other computer in the firewall of the computer or turn off the firewall all together until you get the connections working. This must be done on both computers

    4) Enable the share option on the folders you want to share. This must be done on both computers. These folders will be the ones that show up in the Network Neighborhood on the computers in your network
