CM2200 on 192.168.100.1

192.168.100.1 is a fixed address for a reason and can not be changed. Its the address of the modems web page for user access. The CM modem does NOT have a built in router. Its MODEM ONLY! You need to connect a wireless router to LAN port #1 if you want to connect more than just 1 devices to have internet access. 

Be sure you contact your ISP to ensure the CM modem is fully supported and serviced by your ISP.

I just bought a CM1100 and am extremely annoyed to find that its IP address is fixed at 192.168.100.1.  The network I am installing it on uses the 192.168.2.xxx subnet, which means that the cable modem is not easily accessible for checking and management.

 

I am not interested in having the cable modem tail wag my network dog.  I am not going to reconfigure my network to 1.92.168.100.xxx !

 

I have never had a problem like this before.  I normally set suitable hard addresses to boxes as needed.

 

Is there a workaround for this stupidity?  I have never seen it done but it seems like there could be a simple address translation box inserted between the network and the CM1100, making the modem happy and my network access easy.

 

Grrr ...   Any ideas folks?  This cannot be a new problem but Search was not helpful for me.
