But you've already disbled the WiFi on the Plusnet router so that won't 
work.  So use an Ethernet cabled connection to the router for debugging 
the internet connection.

OK so that means the Mesh master device routes from its LAN to its WAN 
port - good.  What it also means is that a device connected directly to 
the Plusnet router (but you should not have one) will not be able to 
"see" anthing on the LAN implemented by the Mesh devices, unless you 
configure the Mesh master device to allow port forwarding.

So this might just be a problem with the Apple TV.

To test this, is it possible to disconnect all the Mesh devices and 
connect your Apple TV by Ethernet cable to your router?  Then also 
connect whatever device shares with the TV - if necessary by WiFi to the 
(re-enabled) WiFi service on the router?

That way you've completely elimininated the Mesh devices.  Does home 
sharing then work?
