I am no longer using this modem but want to use the wifi? I have connection to the router but not the ability to login into it and change wifi name and password. I performed factory reset and can login to the default wifi setting but can’t access 192.168.0.1. Tried surfboard app and I get no connectivity to wireless Gateway

The SBG8300 is a cable modem. 

It has a modem only mode (bridge) or standard modem/router modem. But it doesn’t have an access point mode.

What i ended up doing is using my new cable feed to get into the router change the wifi and password. Now the router works as a regular router without cable getting the wifi signal via ethernet cable. There should be a way to access the router or turn the bridge off
