Xiaomi gateway still not detected after many tries

Hi.
I have a Xiami Gateway model "lumi.gateway.v3" and I don't manage to make it works with Domoticz.
I use Domoticz 3.9056 with Zwave and Rflink support, on my Synology DS416j.
My gateway has a static ip address (192.168.1.12).
I enabled the develop mode on MiHome (activated "wireless communication protocol") like the tutorial explains.
But the fact is that when I create it under domoticz, with port 9898, and the good password, nothing happens in the devices screen (no rgb device).
I tried to play with my phone app changing the color of the light from the gateway, but domoticz still ignore it.
I can ping my gateway from my synology (ssh console).
From my computer, I ran "nmap -sU -p 9898 192.168.1.12" and it says that the port is open.
PORT STATE SERVICE
9898/udp open monkeycom
Here is the logfile :
2018-06-08 15:20:41.547 XiaomiGateway: stopped
2018-06-08 15:20:42.575 XiaomiGateway: will listen on 9898 for hardware id 10
2018-06-08 15:20:42.575 XiaomiGateway: Delaying worker startup...
2018-06-08 15:20:47.576 XiaomiGateway: Worker started...
2018-06-08 15:20:47.576 XiaomiGateway: Using 192.168.1.10 for local IP address.
Any help will be appreciated

Did you add port 9898 to the firewall of the nas?

Yes. I think so. I tried to turn off the firewall, and I tried also to change the synology rules with theres command lines :
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -j ACCEPT
And I tried to enable explicitly multicast using :
iptables -A INPUT -s 224.0.0.0/4 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -s 224.0.0.0/4 -d 224.0.0.0/4 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -d 224.0.0.0/4 -j ACCEPT
Since my last message, I upgraded my syno DSM to 6.2, and deployed the most recent Jadahl package (4.9753).
Everything's ok but xiaomi gateway still not found in domoticz devices.
I don't understand why my NAS can't talk to the mi gateway. Well I have seen that I was not alone in this case.
That's a pity 'cause I'm not able to take full advantage of my xiaomi sensors.
Without any doubt, that may be a network matter. But I still in fog on this issue
Some people say that when the domoticz host is connected at lan by cable and mi gateway by wifi, there are issues... no way to put my syno on wifi.

I have my domoticz running on a Raspberry over fixed network and Xiaomi on WiFi and it works fine (except for my Aqara cube...). I am running the latest stable version of domoticz. Have followed the Wiki instructions. Maybe silly question but when setting up the hardware did you point domoticz to 192.168.1.10:9898 or 192.168.1.12:9898? That is not clear from your description. I would expect 192.168.1.10:9898 to be correct.

Well not exactly...
My xiaomi gateway ip address is 192.168.1.12 so I set it up on domoticz hardware tab.
On the other way, my NAS (domoticz server) ip address is 192.168.1.10.
Thus, in logfile, we can read :
2018-07-13 23:19:01.285 Status: XiaomiGateway: stopped
2018-07-13 23:19:01.285 Status: XiaomiGateway: will listen on 9898 for hardware id 6
2018-07-13 23:19:01.285 Status: XiaomiGateway: Delaying worker startup...
2018-07-13 23:19:06.285 Status: XiaomiGateway: Worker started...
2018-07-13 23:19:06.286 Status: XiaomiGateway: Using 192.168.1.10 for local IP address.
I use this version of Domoticz because it's the lastest release packaged for my synology OS (dsm 6.2). I've followed the wifi too.

Try one of the other Domoticz installations (Windows, Raspberry Pi), sure it won't fix the problem but should give you an indication of where the problem originates.

Ok I'm gonna try on windows. My pc is on lan by cable...
I won't know if the issue is due to my version of Domoticz installed on the NAS or the NAS himself but it will tell me if the network is fine or not.
Thanks for your advice.

Here are the results of my tests :
- Have installed Domoticz 4.97 on a Windows 10 Desktop (connected by cable) : no devices found
- Have installed Domoticz 4.94 on a Windows 10 Laptop (connected by wifi) :
everything was founded (15 items)!!!
So the problem seems to be my router configuration.
my router is lended by my internet fiber provider : a ZTE ZXHN H298N.
Wifi is on SSID1, in the same network than LAN.
I can set port forwarding from WAN (internet) to LAN but I can't see any rules about WifiLAN <-> LAN.
how could I fix it ?
I found this which is not reassuring :
