Windows 7: Cannot access modem management page through router

Hello,

I recently upgraded my network with the following

TD-8616 - Welcome to TP-LINK
TL-WDR4300 - Welcome to TP-LINK
TL-SG1008D - Welcome to TP-LINK

This is a very good solution of 150 euros total cost and very reliable

Anyways, everything works fine BUT i have a "small" problem with the modem! Using the default settings

router ip: 192.168.0.1
modem ip: 192.168.1.1

ethernet adapter settings
Assuming I wanted to use only the modem connected directly to my pc, and according to the manual http://www.tp-link.com/Resources/doc...User_Guide.pdf (page 13/67), I should manually set my ethernet to use 192.168.1.2 in order to access the web based configuration page 192.168.1.1 of the modem. Ok, this worked.
But when i use both modem and router, i try to access 192.168.1.1, i get no response.

I have tried changing my router's ip address from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.2 (assuming that the modem will see the router as client pc) but with no luck.

Any ideas?

After receiving support from TP link, it cannot be done. The pc must be connected directly to the modem in order to gain access to it's management page.
