How View log of Cable Modem(192.168.110.1) from my (LAN 192.168.0.1)?
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...
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?
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?
HEre is tracert. this is someplace not on my LAN. I have a Netgear R6700.

Interesting - after the first hop, the router; the CM500 should pick up.
Even more interesting - how that access IP (I assume that's not a loopback to yours) is able to publish this private rfC1918 IP address out to the world.
Wonder what Netgear can say here.
Edit: Oh and a guess from my side: Does your ISP use a tunnel like PPPoE on the router WAN/Internet connection? This could explain why the CM500 wil never see it's IP address.
Thanks for helping. You know I have no clue what the ISP does (Cox Cable).....how would I find out?. I have no tunneling or anything special setup with the router. Its as simple as it can be and with a 2.4 and 5GHz wireless also.
I connected direct to the CM500 ENET putting my laptops ENET port in the 192.168.100.1 range and I was able to log in.
I saw only about 12 logs, most of which had a 1970 date. I guess I can take a positive out of that the cable modem has not lost connection today when I was seeing Internet dropping this morning. I did see some CM500 logs from when I powered it down a few days ago when trouble shooting this router dropping out issue but nothing today.
On the R6700V3 router, I did reload my saved configuration and I have not had a internet drop for that past couple of hours.....fingers crossed that was the secret sauce to repair the issue. Given all Ive seen and been told I think the router was dropping and not the cable service.
