Does an RBR50 has known problems with Apple HomeKit devices?
I own this Router for 2 years now, fully satisfied. It's set as an accesspoint. Last year I bought a Netatmo doorbell. Should work with HomeKit, but his Security app gives the message: not connected...
What actual router are you using as primary?
If the RBR50 is setup in access point mode, its routing features are going to be disabled so its more going to be whatever router the rbr is connected to.

It's connected directly to my Telenet (Belgium) ISP router/modem.
I already asked the same question to them, normally HomeKit features are 100% compatible with their routers.
Thanks for this info, I already hesitated for a problem around the doorbell itself...
what actual modem is it?
Can you put it in passthrough/modem only mode? And then the orbi back in router mode?
On that Telenet modem is almost nothing to adapt. You can change wifi network, password, wireless on/off, that's it.
I also found the possibilities of port-forwarding in this Telenet modem. But this doesn't give a solution here I guess...
