does having the xr500 connected to to the ont box give issues

[matthewd88]

should having the xr500 connected through the ont from verizon effect the geo filter or anyinthing on the xr500 ? just curious cause i just hooked it up through the ont way

Not it shouldn't unless the ONT has a built in router. 

Modem Combo Units:
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 for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.

Great advice above. I'd also recommend following this Optimal Settings guide for the Geo-Filter: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/folders/16000090646

thanks furrye38 for the options but i just put it back into the router from verizon an put it into dmz because i have tv with them an you need to have the coax hooked up to the modem in order to have your tv boxes to work an on demand otherwise all of your advice would have worked if i just had internet from them but i thank you for all the options.

DMZ should work well for your configuratino needs. Enjoy.
