There isn't always a field to hook up with. I would either need to surrender the use of the XR500 as a router and use the XB6 cable modem as the router rather to read this post. The connectivity is all WiFi primarily based.
- MitcherJan 30, 2022GuideI just bought the RAXE500. On the sales page, it shows an image stating it supports Netgear Armor and Netgear Parental Controls (NPC).

If so, please start your own thread so we can help you and not get your info confused with the OP's.
