    Remove or hide router in network group


    I have a home network set up through a Linksys router. The network consists of a Windows 10 PC, Windows 10 laptop & IMac computer. In all three computers' network windows I also have an additional "computer" that's named after my wireless network. It is clearly my router. I would prefer that it not be listed along with my network computers, as it serves no purpose to me for it to be there.

    This is how it's shown in Windows. The router is the one marked with a red circle.




    Same deal here, but on the IMac.



    Normally if I wanted to remove a computer from the network I would just turn off sharing on that computer, but I don't know how to remove or hide the router. Is there a way to do this? I need instructions for both Windows & Mac. Thank you.

    Mine shows in Network Infrastructure, double-clicking it allows me to log into the Router to make changes.

I have only had this laptop for three days. I have accidentally (I don't know how) created a group on the desktop and four tiles have disappeared. How do I get rid of the group and get the tiles back? Thanks in advance.
Can't really find any info on this. Is it possible to not have group dividers when reorganizing tiles? Every time I try a different setup, a bar pops up and spaces my tiles differently than what I want.
