You dont do anything? It is like any other ethernet switch.

I don't do anything but it's not work. I can show you my config files if you need. It's a Banana Pi BPI-R3 with OpenWRT 24.10.0-RC6 by the way.

The br-lan combining all LAN ports just forwards everything. Maybe tell what particular game you are at and what "lan discovery" is supposed to do.

What if the other devices connected via WiFi? Borderlands 2. LAN discovery supposed to find other players/servers on LAN. I know WiFi isn't the best option but I'm curious.

If they are in same subnet (br-lan) they should forward broadcasts/multicasts correctly to all machines. Like how network switches work. Wifi driver bugs may pop up, but like you have checkbox for each.
