Cannot access network neighborhood (Win10) with wireless connection

Hi,
we just renewed a bunch workstations (from Windows 7 -> Windows 10) and it seems wireless users, with their notebook, cannot access "Network neighborhood" anymore.
No problem at all while connected through LAN cable.
All pc are in a AD domain.
No recent changes on policies.

Eg. if from a notebook, I try "ping other-pc-hostname", DNS resolves ok, but if I type \\other-pc-hostname I cannot access

How can I troubleshoot this?
Thank you

Do you see your wifi network as public or private network?

Change to private network if it is public network.

Network browsing has become unreliable because of changes in network security and protocols.

Use MAP Network Drive instead. This is vastly more reliable.
