You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Nighthawk WiFi Routers. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.- What is the model of the modem/router the XR is connected to? Have you done anything on that to ensure all traffic flows straight through to the XR?
- the model of the modem, i have no idea, cause it's not a modem, it's just a pass-through. I've done everything in my power to ensure that everything is flowing as it should. one of my devices is indeed getting open NAT, but i can't close the NAT of that device to get my Main PC to get open NAT again. not sure what to do...

The Internet always comes from something. If it is a simple Ethernet "hole in the wall", that is connected to something further down the line.
That thing may well be a router of some sort. (It often is.) And that complicates the picture.
If you don't know what the box is, explain how you get the Internet. Maybe someone can guess as to what is going on.
