GUI tools can be nice when you have an idea of what they are doing 
"under the hood".  With networking, multiple hoods are involved and many 
are inaccessible (notably your ISP and the Internet).


I recommend that you start by buying and reading "Networking for Systems 
Administrators" by Lucas:

Unless your hardware is broken, the most likely cause of network 
problems is misconfiguration.  Given dozens settings or more per device, 
the number of combinations across even a small network grows 
astronomically.  The most direct path to a working configuration on an 
X86 PC is to do a fresh install of Debian.  I would remove the drives in 
a problem PC, install a blank drive, do fresh install of Debian 9, and 
see if that works.
