"cannot" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.
What are you using for a URL to access the modem+router? Have you
tried "192.168.100.1"?

I'd've expected that to work. Have you tried a reset with the
modem+router connected to nothing (other than its power adapter)?
