RBK853 (RBR850 + 2 sat) and iTunes Home Sharing

I recently installed the AX6000 RBK853 (with 2 sat) and cannot get iTunes Home Sharing to work in wireless mode. The satellites are hardwired and everything but Home Sharing is working very well. Screaming fast well. I have an iTunes library on a desktop Win10 PC and want to access my library on a laptop with Win10. The desktop is hardwired to a switch. The same switch that is connected to the router and one of the satellites. I'm not using any of the ethernet ports on this particular satellite. The laptop is connected via the 5Ghz wireless band. iTunes Home Sharing works when I hardware the laptop to the switch. I can't figure out, after hours of searching, why it isn't working in wireless mode. Any ideas? Unfortunately, the wired scenario for the laptop involves a 25' patch cord drapped across our fam room floor.

When you say "the desktop is hardwired to a switch, the same switch this is connected to the router and one of the satellites" is everything downstream of the router?  It should be something like:

     router --> switch --> satellite

Not:

     switch --> router

          \--> satellite

Also, if you take the switch out of the equation then do things work correctly?  We've seen some Orbi network connectivity issues with specific switches (often managed or green swicthes).  What type of switch?

As long as everything is connected downstream of the router then your Orbi network should be seamless, whether wired or wireless connected.
