If the isp modem can't be bridged fully, then the DMZ on the modem will be the best only solution for using the XR router with the modem/router combo. DMZ helps wtih the double NAT issue.
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.
