Should I be worried about my C7000v2 modem/router?
I wanted to have Spectrum update the modem/router. (I think previously Time Warner did at least one update) But now Spectrum (who acquired Time Warner) just says, "We don't update customer equip...
I tried to go to 192.168.100.1 today. I see that my new router blocked that access of that address.
"ET POLICY Reserved Internal IP Traffic"
So I allowed it, and I was able to login to the old Netgear modem/router.
I see the modem is active and the wifi is turned off.
And I can see how to turn it back into modem/router mode if I wanted to do that.
And since I see that the new router saw the traffic where I logged into the old modem/router, I'm back to the original question again. Why was the modem apparently trying to get DNS information using the 192.168.100.10 address? Why would it get DNS information at all?
I happened to get another Surface Pro 9 and tried the same install steps I did with the first one. This time I did not get the 192.168.100.10 attempted access. So I'm back to not knowing why apparently the disabled router was trying to get dns information.
