Nighthawk cax30 Control panel access failure.
I've successfully registered the MAC address with Xfinity and now have internet access, however 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1 and "routerlogin.net" do not work on ANY device. "Server not found" is all I'm...
Factory reset has worked for me with my CAX30 or 80 with one ethernet connected PC behind the CAX. MS Edge browser and navigating to 192.168.1.1.
If pressing the reset button for 15 seconds then release and you can't get in at 192.168.1.1 after say 1 or 2 minutes after the modem comes to ready, try a 30-30-30 reset on the modem with out the ISP coax cable connected. Then try to access the web page. If you can then, reconnect the ISP coax cable quickly as the CAX may auto reboot if the cable isn't connected.
And, no, nothing has ever been blocked in the wireless configuration, since I can't even access that.
I recommend you factory reset the CAX by pressing the reset button in back for 15 seconds then release, give 2 minutes then setup from scratch using a ethernet connected PC first and web browser:

After you get the CAX set up, check internet access with all devices. Do not use NH app for now.
Yes. I read your messages. Factory reset will not work. I know, because, as I said, if you had read my post, setting it up via IP address and "routerlogin.net," were BOTH the VERY FIRST methods I attempted right out of the box. If it didn't work then, factory reset is not going to work now. This wasn't a used router, but brand new factory sealed in the box. I didn't even attempt to use the NH app until that didn't work to begin with.

Pretty odd that out of the box it actually needed this. Never seen that before with MANY routers over the past 25 years!
HOWEVER, I will try this tomorrow just to appease you, even though i know from experience it [most likely} will not work. No offense, but I have been dealing with networking issues for over 25 years and have a very good grasp of what works and what doesn't, and also what amounts to repeating steps expecting different results, only to learn the hard way ALMOST every time that if it didn't work before, it nearly never works again. EVER.
