Great suggestions above.
Alternatively are you certain you've selected the correct WAN connection? Factory reset the modem then go straight back to that section. Whatever one is enabled bridge that and select port binding for the LAN port the XR500 into.

as for"And this modem is bridged? "
yes it is
"You might try it back in router mode"
if i did that the modem wil be in control not the xr500 i guess
its solved now by using my other modem the VDSL router from the previuos location i lived in although my connection is ADSL as told by the ISP i dont know why this happened if anyone knows i would appreciate if he gave me some insight
thanks everyone
