Hi guys, congratulations by the sdk, is very good! The exemples work good in a wifi router (router A), allowing the pairing and the device operation, but in other wifi router (router B), the iOs do not find the device, like a barrier on the router. Some routers setting can allow this? P.S. the ssid and password are configured correctelly, showing on the monitor feature that ita everything all right.

@matheusesperanca , HomeKit relies on mDNS which is a multicast UDP protocol for accessory discovery. It is possible that the router is blocking such multicast packets.
