OK, so does it seem as though the XR500 is rebooting itself, causing you to lose connection to your game?
Could you please try going to Settings -> Setup -> LAN Setup. Here, please change the minimum DHCP value to 100. Then, resercve an IP address for each device on the network. Give each device an IP address between .2 and .99.

It may be called 'Starting IP address' or something along these lines. The most important step is to reserve IP addresses for each device, so make sure you've done this.
