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.
