When you are enabling PowerShell remoting using the command Enable-PSRemoting, you may get the following error because your system is connected to the network trough a Wi-Fi connection.

Luckily there is a workaround using only a single parameter 'SkipNetworkProfileCheck'.
Execute the following command and this will omit the network check.
Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck -Force
