Meteor app on local network

I'm learning how to use Meteor by following the tutorial. I'm aware that Meteor automatically hosts the app to both localhost and my IPv4 address (in this instance, 192.168.1.100). When I visit 192.168.1.100:3000 on the computer it's hosted from, the app works fine, however it won't load on any other devices that access 192.168.1.100:3000 from the local network.

I've read the following answers:

And none of them worked for me. It may be because I'm running Windows. If that's the case, can anyone help on how to host the app on the local network?

There's a number of reasons why you may not be able to

try opening the port

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Meteor 3000" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=3000

if connecting via wifi, then routers often disallow connections to other devices on the network, check router settings
