CM1000 Modem Won't Connect to N900 Wireless Router

Question

CM1000 works&nbsp; &nbsp;great connected to&nbsp; computer.&nbsp; But I cannot establish communication with Netgear wireless router N900.&nbsp; Are they compatable?&nbsp; If not, should i return cm1000 or replace N900,&nbsp; or buy an integrated system.
&nbsp;
Frustrating.&nbsp; Looking for a quick solution to reduce monthly cost and finding that it may not be possible without spending big bucks.

A question and then something you can try.&nbsp;
1. What router model is it? N900 isnt the model. the model number and firmware help.&nbsp; Make sure your firmware on router is up to date. Its best to do over a hardwired connect and its best to reset afterward.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Try it like this.
1. Set the router and modem back to factory. Hold reset button on both for 7-10 seconds to reset them.&nbsp;
2. Once they're reset. shut them both off without having set them back up.
3. Plug the modem in and let it fully boot. Usually takes a couple minues.
4. Now plug in the router. Let if fully boot and go through your setup process for the router.&nbsp;
5. does it work? if not, can you log into the modem from the browser (with it connected to the router). Address should* be 192.168.100.1
*should, not is. Your isp could change the default ip address of the modem.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Any time you change out modems/routers, its always good to start back fresh. Not always needed but you'll get the best results that way.&nbsp;
