XR500 and certain equipement wont work with it
Greetings,
So i switched from a r8000 to the xr500. I like the DUMAOS, but it seems that certain things will not work thru it.
DirecTV - Can get an IP, but cannot connect out to the world
Furbo - Can get an IP, but cannot connect out to the world
Lutron bridge - works inside wifi, but cannot connect out to the world
WEMO - works inside wifi but cannot connect out to the world.
Help would be great, i have 7 days left to return it, and if i dont get this resolved, i will just take it back i guess. I cannot be the only one with this problem.
Oh, and when i use my modem's wifi, all 4 items work just fine, it's just when its behind the router that it doesnt work.
HELP please.

- I think you will need to enable IGMP Proxying in the WAN Settings in order for these devices to work, if not let us know and we can try other steps.
Greetings,
Will try that, went out of town, but will try tomorrow and see if that solves the problem.
Hope it works...
Greetings,
Well that didnt work, a no go....
Next idea?

Bump.....
Running out of time before i take it back....
- What is your exact physical setup e.g. modem > XR500 and how is have you connected the ISP hub to the XR500, is the hub in modem mode, are you using the DMZ?
