Very Disappointed with XR500
Purchased a XR500 a couple days ago to upgrade an older R7000, really had high hopes for the router, but to my dismay it looks like I will be returning it. Setup went smooth, it was after the set up...
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem?
Try this as a quick test, enable smart connect. Use a single SSID name. This time, disable ALL WPA security temporarily. Connect the phones. Do they connect and have internet access? If so, re-enable WPA and TPIK only and do same test with phones. Then try WPA2 and AES only.
Use manual channels 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4ghz and 48 on 5Ghz.
I would disable MIMO as well.
FURRY, all of that was already tried, did not work. We did finally make some headway today though. Playing with the Anit-Bufferbloat settings, everything started working. Then of course right when I got it all working, we had a power outage for whatever reason, now it is not working again. I went back into the router to make sure all the settings were the same, which they were, but still not allowing my phone to access internet again.

Turn off all QoS....
I stated in an earlier reply that I have an Arris TM1602, but the modem has nothing to do with it. Other devices connect to the internet just fine. And from what I can tell there is not way to disable QOS on the XR500.
