change IP address on cm500 after connecting to wireless router

is there a way to change the default LAN IP address (192.168.100.1) to an address in the range of the LAN subnet on the wireless router.  Or am I forced to change the subnet on my wireless router to 192.168.100.x???

  • Judging from the manual, it's not possible to change the CM500's IP address.  On the other hand, you should NOT change subnet of the wireless router to the same one as the modem.  You cannot use the same subnet on the Internet and LAN ports.  You should still be able to reach the modem from behind the router.  In other words, if you enter 192.168.100.1 into your browser, it will connect to the modem.
