R6700AX mDNS/Bonjour not working
Updated firmware to 1.0.20.174.
Internet not connected (not needed).
Windows PC (fixed 192.168.16.125) wired into LAN port.
Android tablets (wireless) DHCP.
Primary DNS on PC set to router IP Address (192.168.16.25).
The tablets are communicating to the PC just fine but the tablets are not auto-discovering the PC. Once I tell the tablet the IP address of the PC, it connects and works fine, it just does not auto-discover.

Not sure if this could be helpful to you:

Might check for any blocks on the router or Windows and make sure firewalls or security services are not blocking anything. Disable them temporarily to check this.
Items like Armor or SPC could block if enabled on the router.
