You shouldn't have any issues connecting the XR to the home hub. However, if you do feel free to update us here and we'd be happy to assist!

The homehub has its own integrated router functions. 

When you connect the XR500 to it, make sure to put the XR500's IP address into the homehubs DMZ.

Ok then after doing that it should all work fine?

Do i just put an ethernet cable from the homehub ethernet port to the XR500 Internet port?

Yes it will. Yes that's correct!
