okay, working! the default port parameter is 8080, instead of 80. setting the router's port forward from [externalIP:80] to [internalIP:3001, or some other number] and the --server port parameter to "3001, or some other number" and host to "0.0.0.0" resolved the issue! wiki now accessable from all devices as desired.
