Hello remitr,

 

I have some questions to ask, listed them below:

 

  • What is the brand name of the modem?
  • What is the hardware version of your FVS318G?

    Hi Jenn,

     

    Modem: Cisco Model DPC 3941B

     

    Hardware version : Not sure where to find that. Nothing shows on the 192.168.1.1 webpage or on the device itself.

     

    Firmware: 3.1.1-18

     

    Thanks for responding. Hope you can help me.

     

    Dave

      Hello remitr,

       

      Cisco DPC3941B is a cable gateway. This means it has router capability. What WAN IP address is the FVS318G getting from the CIsco? You can give just at least the first 2 octets.

        static ip is 173.160.xxx.9

        gateway ip is 173.160.xxx.10

         

        Hopefully that is what you are asking for.
