what fibre modem is it?
Some have integrated router functions that either need to be disabled or the router placed in AP mode to work properly.

The modem is a Chorus Model Type 300. Interesting thought, you think it might work in AP mode rather than router mode?

from what I could find on the chorus 300 it seems to have an integrated router.

So this means AP mode might/should work?

if its running in router mode, placing the XR500 into AP mode would work. or there might be an option on the chorus to place it in passthrough/gateway only mode.
