Android devices on my network? how to ?

[ytnastech]

Hey. I have a few PCs at home and i have them all connected to my internet router.

 

Also, I have all the phones here at home connected to the router, so that they have internet.

 

(great!), but while all the PCs appear in the "Network" tab on my PC, none of the phones appear.

 

How to I make them appear, to make it easy to transfer photos and other files to the phones or tablets?

 

(I only use android, 4.4 , 5.0 and 4.2 in a old tablet.)
