I have a network set up something like the following:
Device A <---> Router A <---> Router B <---> Device B
where Router A is a tp-link Archer AX73, and Router B is a tp-link Archer C7. Router B is flashed with OpenWRT, and Router A is using stock firmware. Router B is set up to be a wireless bridge between Router A's network, and its own (it was set up using this guide).
What I am wondering is if Device A can find, say, Device B.local, using Avahi (assuming Device A, and Device B both have Avahi installed, and running), over this bridged network. So far, I haven't been able to get it to work, so I'm wondering if it is possible at all. I have read that Avahi only works on a local network, but I was wondering if it could be bridged.
UPDATE (2024-01-16T01:28Z):
The issues that I mentioned in this post have since been solved. The majority of the issues stemmed from the fact that the relay software that I was using, relayd, doesn't support ipv6. All the tests that I was conducting were defaulting to ipv6, so it was appearing like the bridge was failing unpredictably. Since that realization was made, and countermeasures were enacted, the problem was solved.
Router A (
192.168.0.1
) is a different subnet than router B (192.168.2.1
).Bridge was added using the linked guide (it uses relayd).
