I may be wrong, but this could be down to Windows Firewall and its
default settings.  These restrict file-sharing to the local subnet.
Unlike most routers, CeroWRT separates wireless and wired connections
into separate subnets to prevent broadcasts from wired systems flooding
the wireless side.  Are the two computers connected to the router in the
same way?
