This is probably the wrrong place for this thread (I believe there is a whole support section of the forums) but my first question is are you all in the same place? The LAN uses the LOCAL network.
I'm assuming one of you has already has already went to their singleplayer world, gone to the esc menu and opened the world, to LAN, right?
Yes?
Ok, good. Now I had trouble with this earlier, so this is how I got around it. When your friend opened the world to LAN, an IP should have appeared in the chat. Have the friends who want to join that LAN world type in that IP into the "Direct Contact" option on the multiplayer menu.
I use LAN world all the time with my friends. For LAN to work u need to be connected to the same internet. To open a LAN world u press the escape and click open LAN world and choose if u want the other to be able to use cheats and wat gamemode u want them to start on. To connect to a LAN world make sure ur connected to the same internet than go into multiplayer and at the bottom it says searching for LAN worlds and the world should be there. Hope that helped. Good Luck

Do you most connected to the same router? We have one router and one acces point. One Pc is runnning on the router and the other on the acces point and it is not working (The Acces point is connected to the router)
Yes generally you would want to be on the same network

Does that make sense? I hope so! Good luck!
I really hope you're joking.
