The short question, ubee cable modem with voice, model UBC1301-AA00, firmware version 12.2.3110.15, how do I put it into Bridge mode?
I can log into the modem management web page through 192.168.100.1, and I can find the "Operation Mode" page to switch between Bridge mode and NAT mode, but when I select Bridge mode and click Apply, essentially nothing happens. I do get a pop-up that says "Apply Successfully" to which I have to click OK on and it goes away, but nothing else happens. I've tried pulling power and plugging back in several times too and it always just stays on NAT mode.
The details...
I got a new cable modem today because I got a new package that included voice, so they had to replace the modem with a modem that supported voice. The new cable modem also has a built in router and wifi which I do not want to use. I have a very nice Netgear NightHawk AC1900 router of my own that works very nicely and I want to continue to use.
I have already disabled wifi on the new Mediacom cable modem, and I've got it working with my router by setting the LAN NAT network IP on the cable modem to 192.168.1.1 (my router already used 192.168.0.1 and I didn't want to have set my home network all back up on a new IP segment). The WAN port of my Netgear router then gets a 192.168.1.11 IP address from the Mediacom modem/router, and it does work, but I'd still rather put the modem in bridge mode to eliminate the in-between router function of the cable modem.
I've also done some Google searching on this and I find info on other models of Ubee cable modems, and I can't find ANYTHING on this modem. I don't know if this is a new model or what.
I also asked the technician who installed the modem about the bridge mode and he had no clue. He'd never heard of it.
Thank you.
