    Hello,

    So I have a Modem-Router setup and I set the modem (Verizon Actiontec) in PPPoE Bridge mode so that the internet connection would only come through the router (TP-Link). I am trying to change the settings back but since I set my Modem in PPPoE I can only connect to the default gateway of my router and not my modem. My Modem address was .1.1 and my router was .0.1 but every time I go to the .1.1 address it does not connect. I need to get to the gateway of the modem so I can change the modem settings so that it can be used as the main router again but I don't know how to. Is there any way to connect to the default gateway of my modem?

    For reference, I did an IP Config on the Modem and this is what I got: 5616aecb12235fb5aa6440bdc305cf49.png

    How do I establish a default gateway for my modem?

    UPDATE: Problem fixed. Hard reset modem.
