Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.

Thank you for your response. I am a newbie here and a novice when it comes to configurations of routers. I don't use a modem, I literally have a cat 5 coming into my condo from a rack in the basement that goes directly into my router.

Ok Was checking to see if you had a router infront of the XR router.
You check with the Mfr of Popcorn to see if there is any secific router configurations needed for use with there device.
Are the two devices connected via wireless or wired? Wired would be perferred.

I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. Popcorn time is a sideloaded app to watch movies and tv shows on the Apple TV device for streaming. My Apple TV is hardwired to the router. I figure that being I don’t Kherson popcorn time servers are, maybe it’s outside of the two filter and the traffic is being blocked. Is there anyway to disable the geofilter so I can make it a standardized router or not so restrictive to inbound connections outside of gaming?- Netduma-FraserDec 29, 2018NetDuma PartnerDelete any devices that have been added on the Geo-Filter page and it won't affect it. I would also suggest disabling QoS completely in Anti-Bufferbloats options and see if that resolves your issue
