Hello,

I have a Motorola MB8600 cable modem whose ip address is 192.168.100.1. With the modem directly connected to my computer I can access the modem's admin page at this address. However, with the modem attached to my AX55 router I can't access the modem admin page. It times out. The router is at 192.168.0.1. The router seems to be able to communicate with the modem's ip address as the following ping results show:

PING 192.168.100.1 (192.168.100.1): 64 data bytes

I'm not sure why the router is blocking access to the modem when I type the modem's ip address into a web browser. I didn't have issues accessing my old Netgear modem behind the router but the new Motorola modem is causing issues. The ip address of the Netgear modem was the same as the current Motorola modem. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad
