I’ve been messing about with the network settings here, as I’m having
trouble with the Home Sharing service.

As mentioned, I have installed this new Mercusys Mesh system, and most of
it work great. However, I found that the Apple TV won’t connect to Home
sharing unless I disconnect Ethernet and use WiFi instead.

Both mobile devices won’t connect at all, they show the loading progress
wheel, then the app quits, that happens on both the iPad Pro and my old
iPhone 6S (both up to date ). I’ve tried resetting, rebooting and such
like. The service is showing up everywhere, but just con’t complete the
connection.

Now, the setup is as the Mercusys set itself up automatically when
installed. The setup is thus:

Plusnet Hub One: Linked to the outside world for broadband (Fibre Extra,
which I get 67meg down and 19meg up). WiFi disabled, DHCP on as address
192.168.0.254, supplying in the range 50-100.

Mercusys (Halo S12) Mesh: Auto setup as 192.168.0.1, and DHCP on to the
WiFi devices (there must be appropriate settings to link to the PlusNet
router, as the Halo gets an IP address in the 192.168.1.x range). I set the
range to 101-199.

Now my question is, what do I need to do to get the HomeSharing to work
across the two parts of the network. I tried turning off the second DHCP
server, but just ended up losing connection, and had to reset the boxes to
start again.

Cheers.
