Modem Access

I have a Motorola Modem (Model M88611) whose IP address is 192.168.100.1 and my LAN is set to 192.168.0.1 starting IP address which doesn't; allow me to log into the Modem.  Is there a simple way to change the range to allow me to log into the Modem?

      Sorry - forgot to mention the router is a Nighthawk. Question is related to that.

        We presume you can access the NG router? 

        What is the model# of the NG router?

        Any Armor or SPC features enabled on the router? 

         

        Something to ask Motorola about there product. 

         

  • Who's your ISP? 

    Some ISP's have been locking down access to some modems because users are able to log in and check their values. And then the users can say "the values are poor, fix the line". And the ISP's don't want to because it costs them money. Spectrum is great at it. Most, if not all, of their supplied modems are locked down so users can't access the dashboard. I've seen a few posts on the arris forums about even the 3rd party devices getting locked down. 

     

    Of course, they're also the work around for a different issue that might be worth checking

    Since its not a netgear modem, worth checking on the appropriate forum. (Arris/Commscope bought Motorola, who've now been bought by vantiva)
