Hi Everyone, I just got today my XR500 NightHawk, I have a NBN FTTC connection so i have th NCD box to make me able to use it, before i bought the XR500 i informed my self by asking the seller if this router was compatible and i was told yes it was, but i cannot make it work in any way does anybody have a video or can explain to me how to connect the router with the NBN NCD box ?? In case you guys dont know whats the NCD i posted a picture below
So just to make sure, you've connected the GATEWAY port on the NCD box to the WAN port on the XR500? You've then connected to the XR500 either via ethernet or WiFi, and gone to routerlogin.net to run through the setup process.
At what point during this process did it go wrong?
Tried to connect via Ethernet and when i try to log into the www.routerlogin.net. and when you have the option to use the Automatic setup it loads but a message comes up saying that my modem is not powered on or the ethernet cable is not plugged properly. Wifi option pretty much the same thing or i cannot connect tot he www.routerlogin.net. at all

As well as the above try accessing the interface using the IP instead which would likely be either 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 and see if you can finish the setup that way.
You need a modem in front of the XR router. The router depends on a ethernet connection that uses DHCP or static IP addressing from the modem to get it's connection.

Couple of options, 1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge 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 XR router gets from the modem.
Try Option #2... with this modem/router unit.

Was the modem/router provided by your ISP? If so then it's not surprising that they may require you to have it connected. Add it back to your setup and if possible put it in modem mode or put the XR500 in its DMZ and then connect everything to the XR500.
Yeah i managed to make it work but the only option that i had was to connect the router through the IInet Modem + the NBN NCD without being attached to the IINET Modem it wont work.
