My PC is connected by cable to the same router the laptop connects to by WiFi

I would have hoped that I could set up a local private network between the PC and the laptop to enable file sharing, but along with all the other stuff that's going wrong I'm getting very, very, frustrated.

Not only the Kobos will not connect, the Logitech KB and mouse will not connect via the receiver, the PC will not recognise it when plugged in even though I get the Win 11 beep.
