[Superhub] Wired devices can't see wireless devices

I'm not sure if this is a known superhub issue but It's been driving me mad for weeks now. Firstly I wanted to set up a homegroup so I could share files between my desktop (wired) and laptop (wireless). the problem is neither can see each other through the superhub, only when both are wired can they communicate.

Today I was going to try our a new piece of software released by Microsoft Garage called Mouse W/O Borders which is pretty similar to synagy. It allows you to share files by dragging and dropping between screens with the mouse basically turning two computers into one with control from a single keyboard/mouse. However this does not work either due to this network issue.

Is this a known problem and is there a fix. like a setting that can get wireless and wired devices to communicate via the superhub. It is very annoying. I could find no information online regarding this issue and the superhub so I am not sure if others here have had it and know a solution. I only found information about problems with linksys routers that do have some security setting that allows the two to see each other.

Sadly I have no option to connect both by wired or both by wireless as the desktop doesn't have wireless, the laptop is supposed to be 'mobile' and there's only one ethernet to my room. I would have to put the old D-link in my room which is a hassle as I'd rather not have more electricals ticking away!

Thank you in advance!
