Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only 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/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.
https://kb.netgear.com/20927/How-do-I-change-my-NETGEAR-router-to-AP-modeTry option #2 first then enable IPv6 on the XR router.
do i have to disconnect the wifi of my isp? because my home alarm system is on it and i have 7 different cameras and lol they set it up for me ion would know how to change them to another wifi.
It would be advisory to switch them to the XR1000 Wi-Fi, however you could try leaving the Wi-Fi enabled and DMZ the XR, then see if it works.
- Good advice above, let us know how you get on after that.
