Model: Deco X20

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.5

I just installed the new X20 (3 pack) and put it in access point mode. It's connected via ethernet to my Vodafone supplied modem router. I have deactivated the WLAN/wifi on the modem so there is only the wifi network generated by the X20. Everything seems to be working ok, all our devices are operating fine, but my laptop (Apple MacBook Pro) is now not able to establish SSL IMAP connections (for 3 providers: icloud, gmail, and gmx). I figured out that the IMAP port 993 is closed or blocked.

If i connect directly to the model router, I can make connections to all the providers

Any advice how I could unblock / open port 993 for IMAP connections while keeping the Deco X20 in access point mode? Thanks.
