Alright, I just decided to spend a little bit more money to buy another one, NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Gigabit Router (R8000P-100CNS), which is in the NAT loopback supporting list. Will return the current XR500.

Just a quick update here. I got NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S AC4000 with even a lower price since it was on sale. The game streaming is working as perfectly as XR500, and the NAT loopback works too. It meets all my expectation now!
A new issue I noticed with with X6S AC4000 is that the internet upload speed turns down to 1/3 of the bandwith my ISP supports, which was not a problem with XR500. I can't find a setting regarding this from the management UI, has opened another thread discussing the problem.
