Access to modem stats

[sharpz44]

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

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]

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.

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

How is your exact physical setup connected up?

Vigor130 only has 1 lan to connect to a router which is connected to the XR internet port

That's really strange, should be no reason it doesn't work. Does the XR have a WAN IP of 192.168.2.x?

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

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?

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

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

This must be some sort of compatibility issue between the two as have always been able to access the modem above mine

 Most likely the draytek is running in pppoe mode?

It’s not possible to access the Vigor 130 stats unless you use a Draytek router.

Sometimes your ISP will block access to the modem.

I wish I could see my modem stats again, curse you Spectrum!!!
