Both my RN102 and RN202 show up under network (on Windows 10) and both are running production 6.4.2.
Unfortunately showing up under network has been hit-or-miss for years (and I think is the same with all NAS). Adding a network location in file explorer is one workaround, putting a shortcut on the desktop is another. I understand this is extra work when configuring a new PC, but I don't think there is a silver bullet to fix this.

I think its better to downgrade to 6.4.1 again.

You certainly can. It might not help though.

You are saying that even if i downgrade the firmware, the problem will be remained still?

No, he's saying that it is a possibility that it might remain. You can try downgrading to 6.4.1 and find out, if you want. Let us know of the outcome.
