Accessing MB8600 Configuration page through r7000
Can anyone give me the secret sauce that will enable me to reach a Motorola MB8600 login page of the modem attached on my WAN port on the router from a device on the r7000 LAN? R7000 is configure...

A router like an R7000 has two interfaces. You mean its (not "it's")
LAN interface? Why "Class B" (other than to cause problems like this)?
"192.168.0.0/16" tells the R7000 that "192.168.*.*", including
"192.168.100.1" is on its LAN. Assuming that your MB8600 is actually
connected to the WAN/Internet interface of the R7000, that would seem
to be misleading.

Same problem, I'd say.

Perhaps, but that (default) configuration would have had a chance of
working. I'd return the R7000 to its default configuration (a settings
reset might be the safest way to be sure), and start again. Whatever
problem you might have had, changing the R7000 LAN subnet mask is not
the cure.
So basically, you responded to correct my punctuation?LOL

In case you missed it, "192.168.0.0/16" can't work. I know nothing
about what you did before you got creative. Look for "I'd".None of what you posted about the original ("192.168.0.0/24")
configuration is 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 (commands) with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for the
LED descriptions and "Troubleshoot".- It comes out of the box as /24 and as I said, didn’t work as it was either.
Such a pejorative tone. If you have nothing to add, then don’t respond because I’m not looking punctuation assistance.
I don’t understand why people act like this. Your tone is so off putting that I, and others, just avoid coming to places like this for help. I’m looking for someone who has seen this before and can help. Clearly you haven’t nor do you know how to do this so I’ll just wait for someone who does or, more likely, Ill continue in the other channel until someone provides some input or I’ll figure it out myself.
