AC1750 C6300 bridge mode

Hello, How can I access the control panel of an AC1750 C6300 when it is in bridge mode from a browser thru a router N600?  http://192.168.0.1 doesn't fail but doesn't bring up the screen and  http://...

I need to re-state my problem more precisely. I have the AC1750 C6300 in Bridge mode, how do I get it back into the default Gateway mode given that ip 192.168.0.1 does not connect?

       Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
    for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for "reset".

       Still wondering.

      Thanks for responding,  I have connected the AC1750 C6300 (while in bridge mode) directly to the computer. It does not respond to either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.100.1;  I'm hoping somebody knows the correct address.  I hate to think I must use the previous suggestion from another user.

       

      Reset, yes, I have downloaded the user manual and I know how to do (and have done) a full reset and it does work.  Unfortunately all the configuration work I have done gets blown away also.  Its a very painful way to just change the mode. And no, I can't get back into the AC1750 C6300 to back up the configuration before doing the reset. Sorry, not wanting to be a jerk but this is frustrating.

           And how was the computer configured when you did that?

           What _does_ happen?  Actual error message(s)?

           I don't know what (if any) IP address the C6300 might use in
        modem-only ("bridge") mode.  The "192.168.100.1" address is a special
        case, used to access a DOCSIS modem.  But, if the computer itself is
        misconfigured (because there's no available DHCP server, for example),
        then I wouldn't bet on it working.

           As you've probably realized by now, the time to save the old/good
        settings is _before_ you make the crippling mode change.

         

           As a last (or first?) resort, I'd try connecting the
        C6300-as-modem-only to the WNDR3400-as-router, and the computer to the
        WNDR3400.  Assuming that the computer can access the management web site
        of the WNDR3400 at its default LAN IP address ("192.168.0.1"), then I'd
        try "192.168.100.1" to get to the C6300-as-modem-only.
