Yes, thank you. I know.
I should have stated that I am aware those instructions are for other routers more clearly in my original post.
In my defense, the KB article does have "Nighthawk" in the URL:
https://kb.netgear.com/24105/What-is-bridge-mode-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Nighthawk-router
and this is in there: "Installing your Nighthawk router as a bridge offers the following benefits:"
The XR500 is a nighthawk router.
So I thought maybe it might apply.
