    It's a hardware issue and we (Netduma) just created the software so I couldn't help with that unfortunately. You would have to look for that option on the Asus not the XR500 so it depends on whether that supports it. Otherwise you could put it in AP mode but it would have a different SSID, you could change it to match the XR500 and that should work in theory.
