Zyxel VMG 1312-B modem

[#1]

Hi
My current FTTC setup is an Archer TP-Link C9 router connected to a Zyxel VMG1312-B acting as the fibre modem.
The Zyxel is in bridge mode and connects to the WAN port on the C9. Everything else connects to the C9.
Everything works great.
The problem is that I want to log into the Zyxel and use DSL stats to monitor the line; however I can't log in.
If I try to go to 192.168.1.1 I get a connection timed out message; DSLstats cannot log in either.
Even if I connect a computer direct to a LAN port on the Zyxel I get nothing. Don't know a lot about subnets etc. so not changed anything on the Zycel or C9 (except 802.1q=101 to get it working)
Thanks in advance.

Well you won't be able to access the Zyxel when connected to the tp-link router, that's for sure.
You MAY be able to access it when connected directly to one of it's LAN ports, but my guess is that in bridge mode it's DHCP server is disabled. You would therefore need to set a static IP on the PC , I suggest 192.168.1.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.1 . Don't forget to put the PC back to DHCP when you disconnect from the Zyxel.

Or
Leave the zyxel on 192.168.1.1 if you plan on using any of the stat programmes & place the tplink on 192.168.1.254

Thanks that looks exactly what I needed. Have to give it a go tomorrow now as the Chinese needs to be ordered!

Yes seen that one - that helped me with the 802.1q problem.
Thanks ever so much - I'll report back tomorrow.

The Kitz solution worked perfectly. Now got DSLstats running 24/7 on the HTPC. Thanks.
