Re: Forgot my Westell modem IP address I have a router between my modem and LAN, and ipconfig /all shows the default gateway IP address as the IP address of my router. There is no internet gateway listed. |

kudos:1 | The status page of the router should list a ip address, default gateway and dns ip's post that info |
|
| The router doesn't list the modem IP address on its status page, or any other page that I can tell.
It's an ancient Linksys BEFSR81, which doesn't show that info.
What it does show is:
LAN:
(MAC Address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx)
IP Address: 192.168.1.44
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP server: Enabled
WAN:
(MAC Address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx)
IP Address: [my public ip addr]
DNS: 71.243.0.12
71.250.0.12
0.0.0.0
Note i've obscured my mac addresses and public ip.
Thanks for any help! |

kudos:1 | said by wcb2011 :The router doesn't list the modem IP address on its status page, or any other page that I can tell You probably have the westell in bridge mode
There is a utility called angry ip scanner that can be used to discover the ip address of the westell
You'll need to connect the westell directly to the computer that runs the utility |
|
| Fantastic, thanks for the pointer wayjac.
I will run the tool as soon as I can connect directly to the westell modem.
I appreciate the help and will post the results. |

| If you're still stuck, you could try going over to GRC.com and selecting "shieldsUp". It'll show you the address it' seeing. |
