    I rewrote the NetworkDiscovery component shipped with UNET in the past and it worked with the UnetTransport for some time. However since Netcode 1.1.0 and using UnityTransport, basic broadcasting support seems to be broken even with all firewalls disabled. With the working, previous code, neither sending nor processing incoming broadcast messages could be done, after hours trying to work something out.

    So, I just assume that the underlying technique of the NetworkDiscovery component is faulty. That's why I have thrown the old implementation away and rewrote it using the UdpClient .NET class and .send, which does work e.g. with one PC connected via LAN and a Macbook connected via WiFi on the same router (still requires disabling firewalls). It did that in my asset Tanks Multiplayer.
