I've made 5 branches, each having PCs, laptops and thermostat having wireless connection, access point, switches routers and ip phones. I can't seem to figure out a way for all 5 branches to be able to ping/call each other, can anyone please help me with that? Also, I need to change wireless connection for each branch, because since they all have the same name/password, one branches thermostat connects to a different branch access point. All the help will be appreciated.

You're asking for a lot of trust by sharing your files via Google Drive. If you zip and upload your .pkt files here someone may be more willing to help.

@olzhik hi, i suggest to use physical layout to sperate branch locations. then you can use same username password for wireless without conflicting

thank you, do you know how to do that? Also, could you help me connect the branches so I can ping the PC's?

Sorry! I didn't see you edited your main post. I've never used Packet Tracer to the extent that you're using it so we're learning together. What Kasun was trying to lead you to is the "Physical" view of your network. If you look about your network layout you'll see two buttons, one that says "Logical" and one that says "Physical". Going to the Physical layout on your setup reveals one city, "Home City". Clicking on "Home City" reveals one location "Corporate Office". When I first looked at Corporate office everything was in the top left corner so I spread everything out to get a grasp on what I was seeing. What we're primarily concerned about is the "Main Wiring Closet" and "Wiring Closet". All of your APs except for one are in the main wiring closet. All but two of your routers are in the same closet. To get the results you're looking you need to physically separate all of your branches. Again, I don't have any experience with that but I'm going to mess with it so feel free to reach out if you get stumped.
As for routing, that's too deep for a forum post but if you wanted a quick proof that all of your connections and IPs are working as they should you could just run something like "router eigrp 1" "network 0.0.0.0" on all of your routers and work on limiting it from there.
