Re: AC1750 C6300 bridge mode

oldman2 · ‎2020-01-20

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://routerlogin.net brings up my N600 login. I am replacing an N300 C3000 which did this using 192.168.100.1. TNX

Did you try "192.168.100.1" (possibly after disconnecting the router,
and connecting a computer directly to the C3000)?

"N600" is a speed, not a model number. Look at the product label.

Sorry, try WNDR3400 as the model number.

Anyway, I am trying to transfer all the router setup from the WNDR3400 to the AC1750 C6300. Access list is stumping me, I'm used to be able to transfer devices from the Attached Devices list to the Access Control list by clicking. TNX

How can I attach a screen capture here?

You'll need to manually input any configurations into the router your going to use as your router.

Are you using the C6300 as your main host router?

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'm hoping somebody knows the correct address.

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.
