Mobile App connectivity (unable to connect / Reason: Unable to reach server)

Thank you. Driving me nuts. EERO is in bridge mode so theoretically same as router. But just in case wrong I directly connected the BI CPU to the ASUS router.
I can access BI CPU using UI3 from other computers on the network and phones on wifi. And I can access via BI app on android as well from within home network.
Asus does have wifi enabled. everything else working just fine off of it.

in the BI app on your phone what is the LAN address ? It should be 192.68.50.5:8081
What is the WAN address, it should be blank or the same at the LAN address.

You start the BI app after your connect with OpenVPN.

LAN and WAN are the same. When on home network I can access BI no problem.
Does it have to do with some block at the router level that it doesn't know how to fund / talk to the BI CPU?
ie do I need to wire 192.68.50.1 (the router) to 192.68.50.5 (the BI CPU)?
thank you, I appreciate it
