2740N Networking

Fibre installed last week. Prior to installation I had been enjoying for a few years a wired network consisting of Windows 7 PC, Smart TV, and AV receiver via a Netgear ADSL modem/router. I also used a laptop via the wireless connection. Everything had found each other automatically it seemed and worked perfectly.
After fibre installation and the substitution of this 2740N router, each piece of equipment connects to the internet as before and the speed is very impressive[ I live very close to both a cabinet and exchange]. BUT none of the equipment can now see each other so I can no longer stream music and movies from my PC to the TV or stereo.
It seems to me the router needs intervention to enable networking but I can't see the steps I need to take.
Any help would be very welcome. Thank you

IIRC Netgear routers tend to use a 192.168.0.x subnet whereas the 2704N will be using 192.168.1.x. Win 7 will therefore have seen the new router as a different network, worth checking that it hasn't defaulted to a Public one as indicated above.
Quote Sorry it ended up being stupid windows 7 networking, when I added the new router it had automatically made it a public network therefore blocking that kind of activity, wasn't the router itself causing the problem, gee I hate windows 7 networking and homegroups etc.

Is this the problem? I'm clueless about this stuff, I'm afraid.

Show Media streaming options and clicking on my PC in the list it gives 192.168.1.1 under troubleshooting info.

A local internal one (localhost) 127.0.0.1
A 'public' one which it displays to a network it is connected to 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1 is the address to be interested in when discussing network issues.

True but I'm not sure I would have expected that to show up in Network & Sharing centre - Media streaming Options. TBH I'm not that familiar with Win 7 in a Home environment ( I use Linux at home ) and, of course , the office is in a Domain environment.

Does the Network & Sharing centre show your Network as a 'Home' or a 'public' network ?

Perhaps I should unplug the tv and amp and setup from scratch.

I suspect that Media Streaming still has some retained knowledge of the 'old' 192.168.0.x network but how you fix that I'm really not sure :(. It's not something that I've much experience of, I suspect we need someone who's more familiar with Win 7 in the home environment...
