Modem access throuh] router

Its not needed often but in the past I have had to get line stats from my modem. My RBR50 blocks access to my Vigor 130 and when, as just had to do, I need line stats for my ISP I have to get then direct from the 130. The Orbi then plays up and everything had to be rebooted.What modem can you use with an Orbi with access through the router? I had no problems with two Asus routers before the Orb I so there must be ways of doing it as Asus allow it.

        Thank you.  That being the case, the Orbi WAN interface should  have an IP of 192.168.1.???.

        All the devices on the Orbi LAN would have IP addresses of 10.0.0.??

        A web browser asking for 192.168.1.1 (the modem) should connect to it.

         

        I am as puzzled as you are why this is not happening.
