    Just an idea, if the ISP router doesn't have DMZ, it should have port forwarding, is that right? If so, port forward 1-65535 TCP/UDP to the XR500, that is basically what the DMZ does anyway. Then also disable the WiFi on the ISP router so all devices can connect to the XR500 and can be controlled by it.

VLAN may be the cause here. Is there anyway for you to put the ISP hub into router mode and then the XR500 into its DMZ instead? If so that will probably resolve the issue and still allow you to get an open NAT.
