Where ever did you get such an idea?
Don't remember. It was several years ago. Computer magazine, maybe,
or a website. I believe the statement was that if Bonjour wouldn't
always work properly in your home network if you didn't "enable UPNP"
in the router. I was under the impression it was just a trade rename,
like FireWire/iLink. I've since been pointed to a couple websites
explaining that they're barely even related.
and disabled it. I thought maybe the wireless box was intercepting
Bonjour traffic and limiting it only to other wireless devices.
But it turns out that the problem stays the same no matter how that

Does your wireless router have an IP address in the same range as
the rest of your LAN?
Yes.
Do you have any reason to think the wifi router supports Bonjour?
Bonjour usually "just works" so well that I never suspected a router
manufacturer would have to do something out of the way to accommodate
it. I use dozens of different brands and models of router and I can't
remember coming across even one router manual that bothered to specify
that their product either did or didn't "support" Bonjour. Again,
keep in mind I'm not even using this as a router, I'm using it
strictly as a wireless access point. All it needs to do is demodulate
signal and ship it around the LAN ring.
Does it support IPv6?
If it does, they hide it pretty well.
