       I have no idea.

       You should not need an Internet connection to get to the web
    interface on these things.  "not able" is not a useful problem
    description.  It does not say what you did.  It does not say what
    happened when you did it.  As usual, showing actual actions with their
    actual results (error messages, ...) can be more helpful than vague
    descriptions or interpretations.

       Depending on exactly what you tried to do, a "connection refused"
    message might mean that you reached the device, but there was no such
    server running there.  For example, using "https://<whatever>" might
    fail that way, while "http://<whatever>" might work.

           Hmmm.  Sounds as if the router's web server died.  Sadly, that's not
        unheard of with Netgear routers.  You might also try 192.168.100.1, but
        no bets.

           If power-cycling the router doesn't help, I don't know what else you
        can do, other than complain to Netgear.  You could ask your ISP to
        reload the firmware, or otherwise do what they can to whack it in the
        head.  You might get more help from someone who deals with cable-TV
        routers more than I do.
