Due to Microsoft's insistence on turning that setting back off, I ended up setting up the local Group Policy to enforce the setting.

Thank you! That is the answer; I had thought the 'advanced' settings refer to doing stuff with the firewall to allow connections from somewhere on the internet for stuff.
Win 11 has a different look on the advanced settings as I found 4 instances of Calibre listed; 2 for private network profiles & 2 for the public profiles. The public profiles were set to allow inbound connections while the PRIVATE disabled inbound connections; guess when I installed Calibre, my network profile was public as microcrap recommended; doesn't make sense.
After enabling the private profile for inbound connections to Calibre, the tablets now are able to connect. Another thing to watch out on new computers or "clean" installs as some prefer.
