I can’t even get it to reach 192.168.0.1. I am so done with Rogers since this is the second one I’ve had break in two months, but going to Bell won’t solve anything.

Picture of the cat for your time.

EDIT: And fixed. Only took an hour of resetting and cursing to get it to work. You think the reset button would be a bit more instantaneous, but no. Also, having only Facebook and Google work on it while everything else failed to load was weird.

I love how the cat looks like:

‘if you must faf about with that bloody router, can you at least do it in another room and turn the bloody light off, I’m trying to sleep here’.

Usually the default IP is 192.168.1.1 not 192.168.0.1.

I have never had that be the case for me.

I recommend to:

Definitely Buy This:

https://www.amazon.com/ARRIS-SURFboard-SB6141-DOCSIS-Cable/dp/B00AJHDZSI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1485149974&sr=8-2&keywords=surfboard+modem

Buy this or one of its relatives:

https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-AC1750-Router-800MHz-Processor/dp/B00Z0V2NQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485150162&sr=8-1&keywords=netgear+ac

Return the router/modem combo and stop paying the rental fee, because there are almost no devices in all of electronics (at a non-stratospheric price) that are better combined than separate (see: multi-function printers, cell phone cameras)

Must be a Rogers thing.

Given you gave .com links, you probably didn’t know for Robbers you can’t buy out their modem unless you’re on a TPIA. They use modem whitelists.
