Netgear and Duma know about this, I've had countless conversations with them via Facebook.
All they say we are aware, But it'll be fixed in the next firmware. Which is in BETA.
Could be months or knowing Duma years, I have the XR500 too and its just an expensive door stop atm feel terribly ripped off that they can actually get away with selling this when it doesn't even fuction correctly.
They give you all these work arounds when it shouldn't be that way, Your charging £250 for door stop!
- On your ISP router give the XR router a static IP, just the same one that it has already and also put it in the DMZ. On the XR you just need to click static and it will assume the same settings, so you can then apply it.
