Taconite Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I just upgraded my internet with Xfinity to gigabit and along with that came a wifi 6 modem/router combo. I set up my xr500 as a second router by setting the up address within the range of my Xfinity router and connecting them via lan ports. I turned off the dhcp on my xr500 and connect my 2 xboxs into the Ethernet ports on the back. The internet works great and there are no NAT type problems. Unfortunately when testing the GUI for the xr500, it shows the Xbox’s connected but does not monitor their usage at all and so I can’t use any of the geographical features that I enjoy. When connected to WiFi thought, they are recognized by the router and I can control them. Basically I would like to know if there is any way I can get the same results with Ethernet. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 2, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2020 Hey, welcome to the forum! Re-enable DHCP please, there is no need to have it disabled in this scenario. After you have re-enabled it put the XR500 WAN IP found in System Information into the Xfinity DMZ, that will ensure there are no issues and the XR should work correctly from then on. Ideally though you would put the Xfinity in modem mode but given your bandwidth speeds its not necessary to do that as you're unlikely to experience local congestion.
