    Strange WiFi problem


    I have a Lenovo Desktop that changes from Private to Public Network. I believe I have the latest WiFi Realtek driver. If I click on properties of the taskbar icon, there is no selection for Public or Private Network like on my other Win 10 machines. I just got 20H2 installed. I did have it "fixed" in 21H1 with a repair install. I am running Tiny Wall firewall.
    Just looking for suggestions as I am stumped at this time.

    Thanks
