If I try to access from a PC (192.168.0.3) to a PC (192.168.1.240) I get the message "Destination Host Unreachable".
How can I configure the RBK50 to allow access ?
Have you an idea ?
Many thanks for help.

Sounds like your BOX is a router and you are also running Orbi in router mode. Two routers will cause the issue you are seeing. You have three choices:
1) Configure port forwarding on both routers. Not recommended.
2) Bridge your BOX so it does no routing. Port forward on your Orbi.
3) Run Orbi in access point mode, so Orbi does no routing. Port forward on your BOX.
I solved the issue by myself.
The LAN 192.168.0 is from the ORBI perspective on the internet side. So if we want to reach a server on the LAN side of the ORBI we need to put in place a special link through the ORBI device.
We have to open port 80 (in advanced configuration) which will point to my LAN server (in my case 192.168.1.240).
On the Internet side of the ORBI I have to use the ORBI address (192.168.0.1 in my case) to access the LAN server.
So any device on the 192168.0 network can reach the server.
But we are not yet on the internet. As said there is a BOX which is connectet physicaly to internet. When I bought the ORBI device I plugged it to the BOX. With the explanation above we can reach the server from the LAN betwen the ORBI and the internet BOX.
Now I would like to reach my server from internet. For that I need to put in place the same kind of rules like the ORBI device. In the internet BOX we have to open port 80 (in advanced configuration) which will point to my ORBI device on 192.168.0.1.
And it will work !
