CMD31T: Unable to logon
I have had this device for some time now (over 6 months) and I have had 2 routers connected to the modem through a basic network switch. I just canceled my TV portion of my cable service the other day and while I was talking to the rep my phone (and entire internet connection) blipped out for a second then seemed to come back. I found after this that only one of the routers could obtain an IP address at a time, the modem was only serving up one IP address. I called the support at the ISP (TWC) and they said that it sounded like the modem had entered something called "Bridge Mode" and that I had to disable this feature on my modem. So I tried to log onto my CMD31T and forgot the password that I had changed it to, nothing seemed to work. I then tried the "Factory defaults restore" to put the default password back on, however the default password still does not work. Does this mean my modem is shot? Or am I missing something?
Thanks

I am having what appears to be the same issue. Performed a factory reset and the modem does not accept the default passwords.

Hello CF141
What routers are you using it sounds like it could be a conflict in one of the routers settings why not just remove the switch and then connect the routers and have one of them as just a AP.
