    I'll take a stab.  Bonjour uses IP Multicast, which is not handled well by many Wi-Fi devices.  Go onto your Wi-Fi router look for any settings for controlling multicast.  Some models have a multicast rate setting.  Others have settings to block multicast on Wi-Fi.  Still others may only have an IGMP Proxy enable/disable.  Try tweaking them.
