How do I find Cable Modem IP address if using Orbi
I have an Orbi, I'm using as a Router with a Hitron cable modem that's also a router. I have the Hitron in IP Passthrough mode to the Orbi. However, I can't figure out a way to login to the Hitro...
Does the Hitron have more than one LAN port on the back? A lot of modem/routers respond to 192.168.100.1 as a default.(or was it 192.168.0.1? oh, geez. memory has failed me, and I deleted my notes when my UBEE was swapped out a couple of months ago)
I think that will just direct me to the Orbi.
Well, with the Hiltron in passthrough mode, the WAN port on the Orbi will have the public IP address from the ISP (Sprectum, Cox, whomever). The Orbi typically assigns itself 192.168.1.1 as the internet gateway for all attached devices and uses DHCP to assign addresses in the 192.168.1.x range to everything attached to itself. So, 192.168.0.x is not part of the Orbi network. Neither is 192.168.100.x
Back when I had the UBEE operating in router mode, I was able to connect to it, and my (dim) memory was that the UBEE web interface was at 192.168.100.1 or 192.168.0.1. I can't do that anymore because my UBEE was replaced with a "simple modem" and I have (as yet) never found a method for the user to connect to a management interface on the modem. (I want to look at "signal levels".)
