Hello,
Just getting back on this. I may have found the issue cause & solution.
I just remind my ISP is providing IPv6 and I figured the IPv6 settings were not configured....

Once validated, the routeur has selected "Pass Through" and it looks like to have solve my issues !

Give the DMZ option on the ISP modem a try first for the RAX router.

And to add on top of this : it looks like there are some downloading issues with Google Play Store under IPv6 & some Android devices... This could be an explanation on why the issue was only happening with the store.
