Your unit is updating, please wait for a moment

I have an Arris TG1682 Panoramic WiFi modem that I rented from cox about a month ago that will not let me connect to the ministrator page to do some work on the settings.  I am connected via Ethernet cable and can access the internet just fine, but not the admin page of the router.  I am using 192.168.0.1 as the IP of the admin page.  The webpage constantly displays "Your unit is updating, please wait for a moment", but will not go past it.  I am also receiving intermittent and often WiFi drops.

Here are some steps I have taken so far that have not worked.

- Reboot modem and computer several (20+) times and use multiple browsers (IE, Chrome, Edge)

- Reset my router several times by holding down the reset button for 10, 15, and 30 seconds then rebooting my computer.  Once again tried several browsers.

- Made attempts to access 192.168.0.1 using both ethernet and wifi connections.

- Turned off OS firewalls

- Added 192.168.0.1 to trusted websites in Internet and Intranet zones

- Attempted to access 192.168.0.1 from two different computers.

What was successful

- Getting an internet connection and accessing other websites through Ethernet

- Intermittent internet on WiFi

- Getting to the Touchstone status page

    I have a similar issue. Just had the unit installed yesterday. I got in a few times but could never Look at connected devices. 

    I need ability to port forward and cannot find manual with instructions and couldn’t do it even if I had manual because of the same connection problems you listed.

    Matt F,

    You should be able to access the modem by going to the 192 IP address. There may be an issue with the modem itself. Would you send us an email to cox.help@cox.com with your full address so we can check the equipment from here? We do hope we are able to resolve your issue quickly for you.
