It clearly is an issue about broadcasting, and possibly just an issue about
looking farther than the first network interface the computer connected to. As
I said in the additional info part of my bug report, the problem is fixed if I
disconnect the Ethernet, connect to the  routerx then restsrt kdeconnectd.

I'll try these when I get back home to my laptop, but, until then, could you
point me to some documentation about android logcats? I have minimal ADB
experience, none of which was related to logging/debugging android apps
