After you disable the modem’s routing features and the modem functions as a DSL modem only, you can access the modem only through a fixed IP address, which is 192.168.5.1.Therefore, make sure that IP address 192.168.5.1 is not assigned to another device on your network. Your routers manual - Page 70.
You won't be able to get to it from the router's. .1.x subnet. Plugging directly into a LAN port with a laptop, on the DM200, launch a browser and connect to 182.168.5.1. FIRST things FIRST. Configure your laptop's NIC card in the 192.168.5.x network - use address: 192.168.5.100 mask: 255.255.255.0. This should get you onto the DM200.
Thank you. Always helps to read the manual.
