sharpz44 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Is it possible in the near future to be able to access a modem via its own ip,I use draytek vigor 130 and when using an Asus router by just typing it’s ip 192.168.2.1 it can be accessed on any device, not sure why this is not possible on Netgear thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2019 Not sure I understand you should be able to access your modem using it's LAN IP when you're connected to the router, are you saying that doesn't work?

sharpz44 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 If using Asus I can connect to it via Wi-fi on my iPad but not with xr500, I’m currently in the process of monitoring sync speeds since changing isp as they have dropped.

sharpz44 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 And can not connect via a lan plugged into XR500 and pc by typing in modem IP, the only way previous I have done this is by plugging into the vigor 130 and disconnecting the XR which is a bit a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vigor130 only has 1 lan to connect to a router which is connected to the XR internet port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2019 That's really strange, should be no reason it doesn't work. Does the XR have a WAN IP of 192.168.2.x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that as well , there’s no IP clash ,XR is 1.1 ,I connect the pc with Wi-fi off on it as well so it does not try connect over Wi-fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2019 Could you change the modem LAN IP to 1.1 and change the XR LAN to 2.1 and see if that makes a difference at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair don’t see how that would make a difference ,did consider that but concluded that changing the numbers would make no change and would have to reconnect all devices ,I’m actually thinking of using DSL stats software and keep it running ,just a bit annoyed as moved from BT to iDNET and the sync has dropped ,I’ll figure it out ,but need the info to challenge the loss of 14mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was using the Vigor 130, I couldn't neither. When I wanted to look, I have to disconnect the Duma and plug ethernet from laptop to Vigor, only then could I access its GUI.

Yep...discovered it’s not possible on Netgear routers, just have to disconnect ,be fine as DSL stats won’t be affected due to modem being on,would just make life easier for screenshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 3, 2019 This must be some sort of compatibility issue between the two as have always been able to access the modem above mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progprogprog Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Most likely the draytek is running in pppoe mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollutionblues Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 It’s not possible to access the Vigor 130 stats unless you use a Draytek router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II N3MES1S II Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Sometimes your ISP will block access to the modem. I wish I could see my modem stats again, curse you Spectrum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
