There is a subtle interaction between firmware and apps. What works in the app on one device and a particular firmware version may not do the same thing on a different device, or even the same device with different firmware.

The point about the XR500 is that it has its own firmware, with DumaOS thrown in. Over in the gaming router forum, the people who cooked that up hang out, whereas this place covers anything and everything.
You may get some answers here, but as you can see there hasn't been rush to respond to your question.
