CM2050V - How do I log in?

I'd like to log in and change the default password. My current setup is the CM2050V connected to an Orbi RB850. This presumably is one of the two ways they mention to access the router login. From the manual:

 

Connect a WiFi router to your cable modem using an Ethernet connection, and
then connect a computer to your router using a WiFi or Ethernet connection.


2. Launch a web browser.
3. Enter http://192.168.100.1

 

Unfortunately, when I put in that address it doesn't work. Nor does the IP that the router might have from Spectrum.

 

Is my only solution a direct ethernet connection to the modem?

 

Thanks in advance

  • So change the IP address of the RBR back to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 then try 192.168.100.1. The Orbi system should not be in the same subnet as the modems IP address.

      It doesn't seem to, even when I have my Orbi LAN settings as follows:

      192.168.100.2 (Orbi IP)

      Use Router as DHCP Server YES

      192.168.100.2 to 192.168.100.254 as the Range
