CAX80 Wireless Settings Wont Load

Using the admin portal in the browser, I can't seem to load the Basic->Wireless and Advanced->Setup->Wireless Setup pages. I've tried from Firefox, Chrome, and Edge on my desktop. I've also tried from Firefox and Chrome on my phone. I always get either a connection refused, connection reset, or empty response error.

 

I've tried restarting the modem, and I even tried resetting it. Nothing so far has worked.

 

Hardware Version
1.01
Firmware Version
V2.1.5.2
Cable Firmware Version
V1.02.08

 

Any ideas?

    Pressing the reset button in back for 15 seconds then release and then waiting for the modem to come to a partial ready then accessing the modems setup wizard page at 192.168.1.1 and walking thru this routine can't get the wireless settings to load in the web page? 

    Be sure to clear out all web browser caches before starting this. MS Edge browser should work the best. Make sure it's fully updated prior.

      Edge is up to date and cache was cleared between attempts to get the page to load and still no luck. Any other ideas?

      I have also tried loading the page over a wired connection instead of over wireless and that didn't help either 😞

        Does this happen with a different PC as well?
