Devices connected via WIFI are not able to find DLNA services outside the WIFI network
hi there, my situation: ----> INTERNET ---> FRITZBOX ----> RBR40 (router mode) ----> WIFI DEVICES (my phone) | DLNA ...

Connect your DLNA devices to the Orbi router, not the fritzbox.
If the fritzbox has a router built in, you could change the Orby system from router mode to AP mode, LAN to LAN.
Or use the DMZ on the fritzbox for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem and use the Orbi router in it's current router mode configuration.

thanks for the quick reply. the AP-Mode is working. the fritzbox has no DMZ but "Exposed Hosts" but this setting did not work.
it would be nice to have all the features of the orbi but i guess the AP-Mode is my only solution here.
