I believe the router ip should be 192.168.1.1 - I cant ping it 192.168.100.1 requests a login and password 192.168.4.1 I can ping and I believe it was setup to go to specific DNS and take me to NEX...

All CM series modems are modems only and no built in router. So you'll not see 192.168.1.1 on CM series modems. It's web page will be at 192.168.100.1. You need a router system connected behind the CM series modem for router and wifi services.

every day is more confusing than the last. The box says CM1200 Cable Modem.
When I click on Systems Settings, Wi-FI, Details, TCP/IP, Router IP 192.168.4.1
So I am very sure this is not what I want. Right now it winds up going to NextDNS
I really do not know how to fix this

What kind of router do you have connected that betwen the CM modem and your PC? That 192.168.4.1 address is coming from a router, not the CM modem.
Look at the first page here where it says "Connect a Router"

Is how and what you should be connecting to the CM modem.
