re: How to connect to the subnet of my local network

your router's DHCP server is going to automatically give them all an IP address on the same subnet. it's highly unlikely that that would not be the case.
first make sure that they are all connected to the router and not to a neighbor's router or something.
second, check each computer's IP address. it will either be 192.168.1.x, 192.168.0.x, or 10.0.0.x. If the first three numbers are the same for all of the computers, then yes, they are all on the same subnet.

Shouldn't my laptop and ROKU be there?
only if the laptop is currently connected..same for roku.
but yes, you should see everything wireless at the moment.
if its not there..like someoen said..you might be accidently connected to someone else's wifi.

IPConfig results will help....

Ok thanks guys!
One more question. I just went to the Command and typed "ipconfig /all" to get some info about the router. Under each "wireless network connection" it says Media Disconnected for the Media state. I don't know what that is but can that be causing a problem?

There is no way that you knew how to do /all, and you don't know that disconnected means you are not connected

ignore all the tunnel connectors..thats ipv6 garbage that has little relevance to you.
what does the VERY FIRST line say? the one right under "WINDOWS IP CONFIGURATION"?
is the laptop online right now?
out of that list of 100 that show up under wireless..if ONE of them is connecting you'll the gateway ID number, DNS server numbers, etc.
eta i'm still leaning towards an IP address conflict. to shortcut the process, you might simply try rebooting your router & see if the problem goes away.

Host name: owner PC
Node type: Broadcast
IP routing enabled: NO
WINS proxy enabled: NO
It then has Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Connection 1,2,3 and all say Media disconnected
Then has one Wireless connection with a bunch of info and DNS servers, subnet mask, etc
