If the modem is blocking the ping the router cannot respond to the ping.

If you put the modem in bridge mode that will make the router pingable.

This is very strange the motorola blocks pings and lets everything else pass??

Are you saying the modem is stopping the pings and not the router? I have no idea what "bridge mode" means. Well, I have heard the term, but don't know how to set it up.

Yes I think the modem is dropping/discarding the icmp ping and the pings are never allowed to reach the router

That is very strange! There are no settings on the modem to allow pings, so now what?

Hey Marti,

How do you have the modem and router's WAN type configured?

I've noticed that some routers even when placed in bridge mode may retain some firewall settings if not disabled beforehand.
