 ===== Introduction ===== ===== Introduction =====
-DSL/DOCSIS modems can operate in the bridge mode and provide internet to your OpenWrt router. +  * This how-to describes the method for accessing the modem connected to your OpenWrt router. 
-To access the modem administrative interface, you need to find out its IP address and the port/protocol it is using. +  * It helps to reach the administrative interface of a DSL/DOCSIS modem operating in the bridge mode. 
-Sometimes you additionally need the correct username and the password to gain access or to apply changes.+  * The prerequisite is to know the modem'IP addressport/protocol and username/password.
  
-===== Web interface ===== +===== Goals ===== 
-Assuming that your modem address is ''192.168.100.1/24''.+  * Access the modem operating in the bridge mode through the router.
  
-Navigate to **LuCI -> Network -> Interfaces -> Add new interface...** and specify: +===== Web interface instructions ===== 
-  * Name: ''modem'+Assuming your modem's IP address is ''192.168.100.1'' and it is connected to the router's WAN interface.
-  * Protocol: Static address +
-  * Interface: Alias Interface: "''@wan''"+
  
-Then click **Create interface**.+  - Navigate to **LuCI -> Network -> Interfaces**. 
 +  - Click **Add new interface...** and specify: 
 +    * Name: ''modem'' 
 +    * Protocol: Static address 
 +    * Interface: ''@wan'' 
 +  - Click **Create interface**. 
 +  - On the **General Settings** tab specify: 
 +    * IPv4 address: ''192.168.100.2'' 
 +    * IPv4 netmask: ''255.255.255.0'' 
 +  - On the **Firewall Settings** tab assign the ''modem'' interface to the ''wan'' zone: 
 +    * Create / Assign firewall-zone: ''wan'' 
 +  - Click **Save**, then **Save & Apply**.
  
-On the **General Settings** tab specify: +At this point the modem should be reachable from any host in the LAN.
-  * IPv4 address: ''192.168.100.2'' +
-  * IPv4 netmask: ''255.255.255.0''+
  
-On the **Firewall Settings** specify: 
-  * Create / Assign firewall-zone: ''wan'' 
  
-Then click **Save & Apply**.+=== NOTE ===
  
-At this point the modem should be reachable from any host in the LAN.+If you are using the BanIP package, make sure to add the IP to the allowlist. Ex. ''192.168.100.0/24''

 +===== Command-line instructions ===== 
 +Assuming your modem's IP address is ''192.168.100.1'' and it is connected to the router's WAN interface.
  
-===== Command-line interface ===== 
-Assuming that your modem address is ''192.168.100.1/24''. 
 Set up a static WAN [[docs:guide-user:network:network_interface_alias|alias]] and assign it to the WAN zone. Set up a static WAN [[docs:guide-user:network:network_interface_alias|alias]] and assign it to the WAN zone.
