netbios not working, alternative?

[Pergola Fabio]

i have the rt-86u, and for some reason, netbios on my wifi card stays disabled, also if i enable it manually on the wifi card or in the register, so therefore if i am wifi connected, i cant pint on hostbames on my network
on lan cable, its no issue, also no issue on other laptops
i dont have a dns server , just a local workgroup with the rt86 as a router

but netbios is old anyways, how can you ping on dnsnames on other network devices, if netbios is disabled? isnt it possible anymore without netbios? do you really need a dns server? or how can i easyly fix my issue?

i dont want to setup entrys in my hosts file

thnx

Perhaps it would be better to fix the problem with that one device rather than redesigning your entire network. Try deleting your WiFi card from Device Manager and reinstalling it.

If that doesn't work maybe this will: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3241432/netbios-tcpip-disabled-matter.html#r18873713

When you reset your network adaptor make sure the new network is classed as "Home" or "Private" and Network discovery is turned on.
