Broken UPNP Xml from Orbi 50 with V2.3.1.44

I recently started using syncthing (a file syncing service) on one of my hosts. Syncthing is very verbose, so i started getting an error telling that the UPNP xml from the Orbi 50 is broken. This might be an error in the parser of syncthing, but it might as well be an error in the in the Orbi 50 firmware. I have started investigating because i sometimes loose connection with one of my servers, but i am unsure wether these problems have a connection.

Error Message in Syncthing:

UPnP parse: [http://192.168.xxx.yyy:5555/rootDesc.xml] Malformed root device description: not an InternetGatewayDevice.

# the 192.168.xxx.yyy is my Orbi50 Router.

 

I am using the Orbi50 in AP-Mode to connect 2 cable based networks in my flat.

 

Appended is the (some numbers/serials changed) rootDesc.xml file that the Orbi is sending out. (no not appended, but posted here, as only images are allowed to be appended, for whatever reason)

    In your configuration, the Orbi is a plain L2 device, kind of a wireless bridge - not a router. Looks to me like some overly smart check by this tool...

    Why should an Access Point (!!!) announce itself as an InternetGatewayDevice?
