Im stuck in bridge mode and can't access genie
So i put my router in bridge mode and now i cannot access anything to get it out of bridge mode. I have reset my router almost 20 times and have tried using 5 different computers. I have tried going ...
so how do i find the ip for the actual router then?
That depends on the router. You haven't told us what that is.
By default many brands use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 for a modem router.
If you are connected with a PC to the router, then it should show the IP address in the network settings and properties.
But if you want to get the IP address of the R7450, then some other network tool should help. If you can connect to its wifi, then the connection's properties should show the IP address.
If you just want to get it out of bridge mode, read this:

How are you trying to access the thing after the reset?
Disconnect it from everything and plug it into a PC that is also connected to nothing else. Then you should be able to use the usual access methods. They will not work if it is on the same network as something else.
so i need to disconnect evrything from the router??? because as soon as i reset it all of my devices in my household automatically connect
