- The IP you did was fine, you did it correctly. I would recommend you follow our optimal settings guides to get the most out of the router: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646

On the bright box, connect the WAN port to your phone line/modem, and connect one of the LAN ports to your XR500.
Now on the bright box, turn off wifi, give the XR500 a reserved IP, and put it into the DMZ.
thanks alex but if you could tell me what a reseve ip is and where i put it to in dumaos and how todo the dmc etc on dumaos menu just so many options on xr500
- Go to Settings > Setup > LAN Setup and then you want Address Reservation but it is the same thing. Once you have done that and reserved an IP for the console then you put that same IP address into the DMZ server which is found in Settings > Setup > WAN Settings.
