    Modem LAN 1 and Router WAN is correct. Make sure your router is not sharing the same 192.168.1.x subnet. I had mine set to 192.168.10.x and I could still access 192.168.1.254 fine after that.

I've been trying to find that but I don't see it. I'm using TP Link, and under "Network" it only shows Internet, LAN, IPTV, DHCP Server, DDNS and Advanced Routing - No WAN anywhere

    It's different from my router 192.168.0.XX, it actually starts with 162.156.16x.xx

    I tried going there and it says "

      What kind of modem do you have? I think Nighhawk assumed you were connecting to a T3200M, as did I, but it sounds like you are connected to a ONT. Are you on fiber?

       

      If so then there is nothing on 192.168.1.254 to connect to.

        I do have T3200M, on Fibre.

        So does that mean I cannot connect to it?

        I thought I can because it provided me the IP address on the Modem, along with the login info. 
        However, I know that my Router and Modem is in Bridge mod as well; would that make any difference?

        Also, any settings I should have off while I have Bridge mod on?

         

        Thanks for all your help btw
