    For what? 

    What are you trying to do? 

    If you're using the modem's (probably a combo device) wifi, you should have put the xr500 into the modem's DMZ if you want to continue to use it. 

    If that's not what you mean, a little more detail on what you're attempting and what issues you're running into would be beneficial.
