So your setup is Modem / Router > SX10 > Nighthawk XR500 > Two S8000's and all devices?

If this setup is functioning correctly (i.e you are receiving your full speeds and have an open NAT) then you should have the correct physical setup and the Xr500 will be able to control all of your devices. Please let us know if you are having any issues with your current setup and we'll be happy to help.
