Cannot Connect to default gateway with C6300 after factory reset
Ive done a lot of searching around on this forum and online, but I cannot find a solution. I was port forwarding on my modem+router c6300, connecting through the address 192.168.0.1. I saved my r...
tftp won't work on that device.
I don't want to sound stupid since you've already tried a lot but 3 things to try.
1. more than 1 users I've seen factory reset incorrectly. Make sure to push and hold while powered on for up to 15 seconds. The lights should change.
2. You can always try a 30-30-30 reset. Push and hold reset while powered on for 30 seconds, unplug it while still holding reset for 30 seconds, plug it back in while still holding reset for 30 seconds
3. Try the reset option from #1 but disconnect the coax from the modem.
Again, you might have tried these but always worth a shot.
Also, the C6300 is on spectrums minimally approved list. Not sure what speeds you're paying for but it might be getting close to start checking into an upgrade to a docsis 3.1 device if the speeds you pay for are higher than that 300mbps. An idea is that spectrum might still be giving users modems without charging a fee. If they are, they tend to be the multi-gig modems. Then you'd only need a router. Might be a pretty solid performance upgrade
Thanks for the reply, I tried both suggestions, using the ipv6 address wrapped in brackets, as well as appending :80 to the address, and both give the same results as trying to query the regular ipv4 address.
To elaborate on what it does, it does exactly that on firefox, it shows a loading on the tab for a minuscule amount of time, then if im on a new tab, it keeps the address there, but if I'm on another site already, it just poofs my default gateway address out of the bar, and replaces it with the address im currently at.
Ive tried it on multiple browsers again, but its worth noting that while trying on Edge, it does give give me the error of "This page isn't working right now. 192.169.0.1 gave an invalid response".
Im attaching a gif below of me trying on Edge, showing the network tab for any other information that could help, but nothing comes back with the response.
