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?

No. Just open a Web browser and call http://192.168.100.1/ RT*M CM500 High Speed Cable Modem User Manual p.13 Log In to the Cable Modem

To log in to the cable modem:
- Launch a web browser from a computer that is attached over an Ethernet cable to the
cable modem or from a computer that is connected to a WiFi router that is attached over an
Ethernet cable to the cable modem. - Type http://192.168.100.1.
A login screen displays. - Enter the cable modem user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.

Your CM500 Modem is not on the same network (LAN)! It's on the WAN port.

I followed those instructions. 192.168.100.1 doesnt work, it just times out. I thought because my LAN is 192.168.0.1 and the modem is out of range.
So how do I connect without changing the modem IP to be within my LAN range?

What happens if you directly connect a wired PC to the back of the modem, power off the modem for 30 seconds then back ON? You should be able to access the modems web page at 192.168.100.1 in a web browser. Be sure your PC is setup for auto obtain IP addressing. Give it about 2-3 minutes before you try to access the web page.

Thats what I think needs to be done too. I try that a bit later and report back.

The router should, no, does send all traffic towards the default gateway, where it will forwded accordingly. Yes, there is some dirty trick involved, hanging in the 192.168.100.1 IP into a "different" IP network - usually this shuold work, regardless.
Show us a tracert (windows) or traceroute (Linux, MacOS, ...) to the 192.168.100.1 network. You should see that it does go to the default gateway, the router LAN port. Example (here with two NAT routers to the Internet:
C:\>tracert 192.168.100.1
Routenverfolgung zu 192.168.100.1 über maximal 30 Hops
1 3 ms 2 ms 3 ms 10.10.1.254
2 12 ms 3 ms 3 ms xxxxxxxxxxx [172.16.116.1]
3 5 ms 4 ms 5 ms [192.168.100.1]Alternate approach is, as FURRYe38 suggested: Connect the computer Ethernet adpater direct to the Modem, cofigure the adapter to an address on that same subnet, like 192.168.100.123/24 (gw and DNS .1).
Curious: what router make and model in installed there?
