Disregard, after looking deeper I found the issue. I had reloaded one tab with a backup from the other as the one had gotten corrupt. Upon that load the MAC had also loaded so caused a duplicate on the net. This had caused SEVERAL other problems with not just the two tablets. Getting into the code and changing that via HEX decoder was able to fix all the issues and they will be happy tomorrow when they are able to join each other's worlds again.
So both my kids have identical tablets, and have played together several times. Recently they can't seem to see each other, why?

So this was MY solution to the problem. I posted symptoms on May 31, then found my solution the next day. Posted 1June: Disregard, after looking deeper I found the issue.
