Orbi 850 & AppleTV Home Sharing Not Connecting
My Orbi 850 will NOT connect my AppleTV and my home media library. Whenever I try, I get the message: "Could Not Connect to library. Please make sure the computer is on the same network as your AppleTV."
When I use the AppleTV app with an iPhone or iPad, I get the message: "Failed To Connect. Please check your network and try again."
It's an Orbi 850 mesh system with 2 remotes.
The computer and all various devices are logged in with the same Apple ID.
Everything is on the same network. They're all on the same 5G network, so this isn't a 2.4/5GB subnetwork issue.
The AppleTV can definitely SEE the libarary because I've tried changing the name of my home media library several times, and each time the AppleTV will reflect the name change.
I have unplugged and rebooted all three devices multiple times.
If anyone has any clue, I would be very greatful.

what modem/gateway is the router attached to?
Are the satellites hardwired backhaul or wireless?
What firmware is on the router?
Did something change? Has it worked before and not anymore or is this a new system?
