If you wish to manipulate the settings simply open a web browser and type in that IP address. The default username and password is admin/password

I did some searching on the Netgear community site and found this from one of the so called gurus.

“ The CM1150V is a cable modem. (With added support for a voice device.) It is not a router. A modem will support just one device on the network.

The four ports on the CM1150V are not there to connect a lot of different network devices. They are there to plug into a router that supports "port aggregation".

The idea is that you connect a router to the modem. That router will then handle as many devices as it has sockets, more if you add an inexpensive switch. (Mine has 16 ports.) It will also deliver wifi to your local devices. Modems do not provide wifi.

Netgear's cable modem/routers have model numbers with the form CXXXX. Cable modems are CMXXXX.”

I’ve been on my 192.168.100.1. The interface to me has no router settings. I have since found out that my Orbi is the router for Ethernet (hardwire) and WiFi. When I open 10.0.0.1 (Orbi web browser) all my router settings are there. Still not sure why I’m losing just my wired connections. Hopefully tomorrow the tech might have some answers.
