I upgraded my network from an old wndr4500 to 2x airport extremes and set them up one to create the signal and the second to bridge but can no longer use the dlna function of plex to watch shows on the xbox. The plex app works but prefer not to use it. my plex server is on a windows 10 machine.

Could you be more specific on how you did your set up?
There are a few variables that you might have to iron out. Years ago I ran a bridged network with AE's with a Playstation at the end which worked reasonably well.

Which items are WiFi and which are attached to an AE via Ethernet cable? For WiFi, did you use any type of reservation to work akin to a static IP? Again, lots of variables.
