Network resets
For my own reasons I have my RBR50 configured to run on the network range of 192.168.100.x. Twice now the network range has been reset to 192.168.1.x with a message about the reason being the old rang...
Yes, change your address range to something other than 192.168.100.0 and you should be good.
Search the below webpage for "192.168.100" and you will find discussions of Arris modems handing out DHCP addresses in the 192.168.100.X range. What you are seeing may indicate intermittent issues with your cable service. (Or power outages, or you pulled the plug, etc.)

From the above link: "When the modem can't access the cable infrastructure, it turns itself into a DHCP server and hands out IP addresses in the range 192.168.100.xx. This is useful for people at home whose configurations are such that their home networks won't work properly without some sort of DHCP server provided by the ISP."
well, I've moved to a different range. Time will tell if that fixes the problem.
