Internet works but I cannot get to the router admin page to add a MAC address to my restriction list. I can pint the address, and get internet access but cannot get the admin page to come up. Ironically the telnet interface to the router works but its hard for me to use and dont have any docs on the telnet command set for this modem.
What URL are you using to get to the admin page?
It is possible the Arris has been configured to only allow wired connections to the admin page. You may need to connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the modem.
If you are connected wirelessly, what is your default gateway? This should be the URL you're attempting to connect to for the admin page.

try to change your OS! frfom VISTA to XP. because sometimes the problem is in not the router rather the problem is, conflict bet. IPv6 and IPv4.
SOURCE: My pc won't connect to the internet
It is the MAC address that needs to be scrubbed from the modem.
power off the desktop, power off the modem, unplug the data cable from the modem, unplug the POWER connection to the modem.
WAIT 3 MINUTES
Connect power to modem, let it reset
Connect data cable to Modem
power on computer
Modem should now connect & work with desktop.
Each time you switch between systems, you may have to do this. More than enough to make me buy a router. =)
Please rate the post. =)
SOURCE: Resetting password ? Bell told me I would have to change my router password
The router has a built in configuration chip that allows you to work on the router from your computer. This is called Web Admin Console
Your computer's IP address is 192.168.10.4
The router's address is by default 192.168.10.1 from factory. (AKA the GATEWAY.. like gateway to the internet) This can be changed but it is highly reccomened you leave it default.
To access the configuration of your router
Go to internet explorer and type http://192.168.10.1 hit enter.
You will see a window with a webpage of some sort that has the Motorola logo somehwere.
Look for PPPoE or password setting... you should be able to navigate from here..
A word of advice.. enter your password, save settings, slick or or something like that..
then restart router (pull power, wait 5 secs, and then plug back in) The router has to talk to Bell for a bit to make sure it knows that you're authorized to use the DSL line.
Best Wishes..

1) Are you sure you're connecting to YOUR wireless network? From my own house, I can access 5 different wi-fi networks, 3 of them unsecured. I've even logged into two of them, unintentionally.
2) Check all of your cabling connections that they are tight and
secured. This includes the cables from the wall to your modem,
between the router and modem, and from the router
to your PC. Ensure that your LEDs are not lit Red or not at all.
3) Ensure that you are using Ethernet cables and not telephone
cables between the router and PC. Ethernet
cables use a wider RJ-45 style plug using 8 wires where
telephone style plugs use the smaller RJ-11 style plug using 4 to
6 wires.
4) Ensure that your Ethernet adapter is enabled. Check the System
Tray at the bottom right of your display to see an icon that looks
like a monitor. You can click on this to see the status of
your Ethernet adapter. Also in Control Panel > Network and
Dial-Up Connections, you can examine the state of your Ethernet
adapter.
5) Firewalls. Your desktop firewall(s) may be blocking your internet access. Check them.
6) You may not be completely blocked (only web traffic - port 80 - blocked). Go to Start > Run and type CMD. At the DOS prompt, type ping 192.168.1.1 (should be the default IP address of your router). If you get a response, your PC is talking to the router. If you get "timed out", then they are not talking, for some reason. If successful, try pinging an external address, something like ping www.fixya.com, and see what happens.
Wireless Router
It is usually easiest to run the install wizard from the manufacturers' website, usually for free, but be sure to be ready to set the items listed below.
To get access, start your browser, and put 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, or other address for your unit, into the ADDRESS bar (not search box) of your internet browser. Every unit has unique access login and passwords, some are admin with no password, some are admin and admin...seek access information from the website of the manufacturer of your unit.
Things to set:
Note: Routers are intended to be set by geeks. You have to SAVE EVERY page before you leave it, or the changes will be lost. A geek knows this (apparently). The router gives no protest...just dumps your changes.
1. Login password (RECORD THIS!!). Consider taping to bottom of the router. Physical access is not the security issue.
2. Set a recognizable system ID.
3. Invoke wireless security of at least WEP.
a. Assign your own access code, 10 digit home or cell #. Consider taping this information to bottom of the router. (Physical access is usually not the security issue.)
4. Check that your router is set to broadcast its' presence.
5. Change the channel of the wireless to 11, and avoid conflict with landline cordless phones. (Big issue, even the neighbors can interrupt).
There are more secure settings available, all the way down to only allowing certain MAC addresses to have access. A MAC address is a digit unique to each and every network card. Like a fingerprint. Most users do not set mac address limits
