hi , so is the dm200 in bridge mode as by default its in router mode and if you have setup the orbi in router mode you have dual nat and will be why its blocking the app

 

so you have 2 choices

 

bridge the dm200 and run the orbi in router mode

 

or

 

leave the dm200 in router mode and set the oprbi to AP mode

    I have the Orbi and I use Wifi Calling with TMobile all the time.  No issues whatsoever.  It has to be your modem.
