Cannot access webbased user interface using IP address for Belkin router. Instead it goes to webased user interface for verizon modem. This occurred just yesterday when I accidently changed the modem to a bridge somehow and verizon tech support had me change it to a PPOe connection instead. Since then, I've been unable to access the Belkin user interface using the 192.168 IP address. Any ideas? PS Verizon says it's not their fault and wants $39.95 to fix it, maybe...

Thanks for your thoughts, but I'm not sure I understand them. Here's what I think the deal is, you may be right, maybe I should change the modem back to bridged, but then I cannot access the internet. But here's what I think is really the problem is -- the IP address. The modem's IP address is different from the router, yet when I type in the router's IP address, it goes to the modem's internal settings. Could there be internal settings in the Modem that I could change, i.e., where it identifies the IP address, to change it to the router's IP address? It is a verizon Westell modem, but I cannot figure out how to change the description of the modem's IP address in the internal settings. Does that make any sense? Thanks for any thoughts.

well, i believe the ip address you have for the service is Dynamic, it means that it changes all the time so really can't force the modem to have a specific ip address or default gateway. the only way for you to straighten it up is to really set modem on bridged mode and reconfiguring the router's settings. The router, by the way, only works if the modem is bridged. well, i believe the ip address you have for the service is Dynamic, it means that it changes all the time so really can't force the modem to have a specific ip address or default gateway. the only way for you to straighten it up is to really set modem on bridged mode and reconfiguring the router's settings.
