Q: Network Drive has different icons on 2 different macs

I have an R6400 NetGear Router with an attached USB Drive which I am sharing over my network with two iMacs. The Desktop Drive icon appears as a Blue Hard Drive with Wifi symbol on iMac #1, and as a Blue Hard Drive with 3 people holding hands on iMac #2. Turning wifi on and off makes no difference and I only use wifi because I have a wifi printer.

Any ideas what might be happening? Thanks.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 27" 5K Retina Display Late 2015
