RAX80 - AX6000 Nighthawk AX8 8-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router
TL;DR: Everything remaining the same. Changed router to RAX80; requires modem restart upon internet drop
I recently changed my router to the RAX80 after my old router burned out. I was already ...

Or, if the RAX80 isn't passing any data to/from anything. What
happens if you connect your computer directly to the modem in such a
situation?

Which is relevant why? You should get access to a DOCSIS cable-TV
modem(+router) (or some documentation for one), and see what
"192.168.100.1" does before getting too excited about any (perceived)
wrong-subnet "problem". (Google's address is ouside that DHCP range,
too, but that doesn't mean that Google is unreachable.)

Have you tried "192.168.5.1"? Look for "Disable the Modem's Routing
Features and Use the Modem as a DSL Modem Only" in the DM200 User
Manual.
Hint: Think about what a router will do with a message which is
addressed to a foreign ("wrong-subnet") address, and what a clever modem
might be able to do if it could intercept such a message.
My Netgear cm500v modem is at IP address 192.168.100.1. Have never had an issue accessing when I had a r8000 and r8000p, nor do I have an issue now. As was noted, being out of the DHCP range means nothing.
