As you've disabled DumaOS this area is not part of our expertise so it may be best to make a ticket with Netgear directly but we will help as much as we can. The Guest Network is one of the features that is disabled when in AP mode so that will be why that aspect doesn't work. I would suggest taking it out of AP mode so putting it back into router mode, setting up the WiFi how you want, save/apply, then reboot the router from the interface. Wait 2 minutes then access and switch it back to AP and see if you can connect then.

I did have it on normal mode, but it didn't work then also. I changed it at the shop for a new one, but the problem remains.
I could log on to the wifi, but when i changed the password it stoped connecting my PC to the router.

More than likely because you gateway has its own built in router.
When you setup the xr300 in router mode, you'd want to put its ip address into the livebox's dmz
