Have you gone through the Setup Wizard to gain a connection?

Re: XR500 unable to securely connect

I have tried going through Set up wizard as prompted but it cannot get a connection. Although we are connected on the PC it cannot gain any internet connection and is not secure.

I have checked the set up we have is correct with all included instructions so cannot see the problem.

Sounds like PPPoE is required, go to Internet setup and configure it manually

Thank you. This has now resolved the internet issue but when I am gaming on my Xbox Console I now have double Nat issues and cannot get any party chat.

Could you follow this guide please to get an Open NAT:

It’s a good idea to put your ISP’s modem/router into ‘bridge mode’ or ‘modem mode’ if you can.
