The Windows network view uses multiple protocols for device discovery, including NETBIOS, UPnP and Zeroconf. Most modern routers advertise themselves using Zeroconf - at one point Epiphany (GNOME Web) would display Zeroconf advertised devices under a 'Local Sites' bookmark folder, but it seems that is no longer the case (correct me if I'm wrong). Nautilus (GNOME Files) is purely a file manager, it does not do any Zeroconf discovery for network devices.
