My Cloud Home: how to change connection typ from relay to local

Good morning,
I’ve had a new router (Speedport Smart 4, previously Speedport Smart 3)) from my provider “Telekom” for a few days now, which uses almost 100% of the settings from the old router during setup.
On my PC (Windows 10), I’ve now noticed that the connection type is set to “Relay,” and this means I have no way to access the “Manage Devices” option because the error message shown in the screenshot then appears. Unfortunately, despite searching online for “Change connection type,” I’m still not sure how to get the PC version back to “Local.”
By the way, nothing has changed on my phone; the connection is still set to local there.
What exactly do I need to do to get the PC back to local?
In my dashboard it´s set to “local”, strange.

Or does the new router have something to do with it?
Thank you in advance.

Best regards
KHK

I don’t have an EX2 but was able to find this:

" Connection types can change based on the network setup.
The router must have UPnP turned on.
Double NAT is not recommended."

UPnP is Universal Plug and Play. This is a router setting.

Thank you, but my router does not support UPnP at all. But on the other hand it works fine with my android mobile, network connection type is local as i mentioned before and the mobile is in the same network and connected to the same router as my PC.
