My internet keeps dropping out. Id like to view the log of the cable modem a Netgear CM500 from my laptop on my LAN 192.168.0.1. How do I access the cable modem whos address is 192.168.100.1?
The cable modem is out of the LANs routers assigned address range and I cannot set the router to go out of 192.168.0.1.

Your LAN subnet is on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, the router (or for the sake the PC) are on the .1 address.
Either way, the 192.168.100.1 address is outside of the local LAN subnet, the router will forward the 192.168.100.1 to it's WAN interface, where the computer is able to reach the cable modem on its 192.168.100.1 address.
Unless you are using ridiculously strict security appliance, there is noting that blocks e.g. the http connection from the LAN to the WAN/Internet side of the router.
Changing the modem management IP address to an address in the LAN subnet would not allow to reach - because it's not direct attached to your LAN.
So to change the Modem address I need to connect it directly to my laptop and from the laptop enter 192.168.110.1 then if successful getting into the modem, then change the address of the modem to something withing 192.168.0.2 to 255 right? Then I could see the log from my laptop over the LAN. Is this correct?

Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
