What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Built in router here? If so, This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.

just used it in router mode and then put all the port forwarding through the main smart hub - I nowhave open Nat type although slightly annoying as loose some of the featured apps - so think still need to for alternative work round to resolve issue although this will do for the moment
massive thank you :)
did look at this earlier but did not go through with the changes - oh well zombies to see how it plays
Enjoy. :smileywink:
- Just to clarify, did you put the XR in the DMZ of the smart hub? Why are you losing some of the features?
i had to place into ap mode - did try the dmz mode by going into the dmz setting of the hub allow the dmz to the xr500 although this does not seem to solve the nat type issue - even if on the xr500 has the pert triggering or port forward set.
how ever in ap does solve the nat type issue to open.
think it is double nat type issue - as the bt smart hub 6 is like router which plugs straight into vdsl line i dont have a separate modem to plus into
