RAX8 will not connect to 192.168.100.1
Does anyone know how to get the RAX80 to connect to my cable modem at IP address 192.168.100.1? I have an Arris SB8220 and the web admin page is at 192.168.100.1. I can ping this IP address success...

I reset the IP address range to start at 192.168.1.1 and this fixed my issue.
Thanks so much. I can now get to the CM admin portal via my router.
Nice workI appreciate the support

Thanks for the quick response. Here are my replies and my next steps
- disconnecting the PC from the router is not sufficient. I have to disconnect the router also and then reboot my CM so it forgets the router MAC address
- I don't want to change anything on the CM, just look at the logs to see why I am so many disconnects from Comcast.
- I didn't think I could see why the network disconnected in the RAX logs. I look there. thanks for the tip
- I don't know why my IP address starts at 0.1 and not 1.1. I don't recall changing that. I'll change back to 1.1. Maybe I'll do a factory reset of the RAX
- I am still curious why the RAX allowed me to connect to 10.0.0.1 and it will not allow 192.168.100.1. they are both out of range no? I can ping the 100.1 address so why can't the router just connect me?
thanks for all the help. I'll change the RAX IP address range. I am curious to see if that changes anything
