The issue is that finding the server automatically requires UDP broadcast to work. The way that broadcast works the router would have to receive and re-send that broadcast, most home routers are simply not made for that, after all the broadcast would not work over the Internet anyway. Routers usually route a message based on the address but the broadcast doesn't have a dedicated address to route to, it's targeted at all devices. Which is why it is not supposed to work on the internet or even behind a router because otherwise you would get really, really prolific traffic.
