This Guide is n00b friendly, meaning if you're new at networking, this Guide is for you!

* Alert : Firefox 64x might not be able to see your modem, so dont use it in this Guide,

* don't reboot the router\modem with out saving the changes, make sure you submit,

* if you have to use the telnet part of this Guide, you will be one of the unlucky users who wont be able to turn off there modem, if there is a power cut, or the modem is rebooted by mistake, you will have to repeat steps 14) to 19) it's recommend that you skip steps 14) to 19) when you 1st try this Guide, if your router supports it, you will be able to see the modem on the network with out the telnet fix, if you dont, then you will have to try with the telnet fix, but it wont be a permanent solution for you i'm afraid

* Steps 21) 26) will be the hardest part of this Guide, Hint! take a look at Steps 21) 26) before you begin, to see if your router can run the commands


You will need :

1) HG612 Modem with the unlocked firmware on it - http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/hg612unlock.htm

2) DD-WRT or Tomato firmware on any router that supports it (This Guide used the R7000, so follow this Guide if northing else works)

3) Good old ethernet cable

4) Determination <-- This ones very important

Once you have all of that, you may follow this Guide

1) connect the ethernet cable to the HG612 Modem second LAN port "LAN2" then the other end to your computer (Make sure your WIFI is off, or you have disconnected from your routers network)
2) Open Control Panel - Networking and Internet - View network status and tasks (Next to "connections:" click on Ethernet X) Where X is may be a 1 or 2 and so on

Code: [Select]

192.168.3.1 the page should load, if it dont, wait 1 minute, for the settings to take effect, then try again

13) You dont need to login, if the modems interface shows up, you know how to get to it and that it's working, it will always be at 192.168.3.1

14 Might be optional) install telnet, http://www.technipages.com/windows-10-enable-telnet

open a administrator command prompt (you can skip to 19) if your feeling lucky, some routers dont need this step for the modem

15) Enter

Code: [Select]

telnet 192.168.3.1 press enter,
16) Enter

Code: [Select]

sh17) Enter the following lines, One By One, making sure you dont mess any up, or miss any :

18) Type

Code: [Select]

exit then exit then exit one last time

19 Start here if you skiped 14) disconnect ethernet, and connect to your router by wifi or connect to your router by ethernet, making sure to edit the settings we changed in 2) back to "Obtain an IP address automatically"
20) Open internet Explorer or the New Microsoft Edge (don't try to use anything else)
21) Type in your routers address

Code: [Select]

192.168.1.1
22) Type in

Code: [Select]

admin for the user name or if that doesn't work, try the user name as root then :

Code: [Select]

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING ! -s $(nvram get lan_ipaddr) -d 192.168.3.0/24 -j SNAT --to 192.168.3.253
25) Then press Save Startup or if you have a different router, carry on reading

try the following bellow, however dont (Save Startup) Run Command instead, then go to 192.168.3.1, if nothing shows up, try the same command I use above, if both commands show zip, it's not worked sadly, 

Code: [Select]

ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.3.253 netmask 255.255.255.0
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING ! -s $(nvram get lan_ipaddr) -d 192.168.3.0/24 -j SNAT --to 192.168.3.253
if you see the modem, then it has worked, press Save Startup

but if it hasn't - go to command prompt on the computer and type telnet 192.168.1.1 then sh then ifconfig, try and find the WAN port name and change the command, if you dont know how to do it, you will have to message someone, or comment, to clear the router of any settings sent by telnet, reboot it,

26) Press Management, then press reboot
27) You should now have access to 192.168.3.1 allowing you to view the modem

Surely a far, far easier way is to simply flash the HG612 with

bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP08_webgui

from here
https://mega.nz/#F!LdJFDIJL!e_E1twsIg2kTet8mPjrb4w

then simply connect LAN2 on HG612 to any free router port? That's how I got the HG612 GUI. Apologies if I've misunderstood you.

[Dray]

Yes, obviously this will only work on an unlocked HG612, but the important thing to note that this is how to get the stats using only LAN1, i.e. the same connection that runs from the modem to the WAN port on the router.

[SignedAdam]

Dray - Is correct, of course, (Because he, and Chrysalis) are the brains behide this Guide i'm just the guy that wants everyone else, to know about it,

This guide is more than just freeing up one extra connection, I found having lan port 2 connected, at the same time, causes disconnection issue or it losing sync (same thing), I would need to pull lan 2 out, and then, put it back in after an hour or so, to gain access to the modem again, (Im finding) im not having the same issue with this guide, this way is also permanent, meaning you can reboot both the router and modem and not worry about the settings being lost, even if it sounds messy and long, it's worth it, your getting something for nothing, you would only normally find this functionality, in something you paid for...

[kitz]

Thank you for doing a step by step guide

[SignedAdam]

You are very Welcome, Thank you for creating this website, it's a god sent , i'm just using the tools I was given

Ah ok, I understand now. But I've had my HG612 permanently connected to loads of routers over the last 2-3 years via LAN2 (eg Asus AC87U, Linksys EA8500, Netgear R7000) and I've always managed to access the HG612 web GUI by going to 192.168.1.1 using wifi despite a zillion router reboots and resets. IMHO the trick is to change your router's default IP address to anything other than 192.168.1.1 (i normally use 192.168.1.2) and this works a treat. Why make things unnecessarily complicated when all you need is a cable from LAN2 to a spare router port & the unlocked webgui fw on the HG612?

What I would really really like is for someone to post a guide on how to access the web gui on the Draytek Vigor 130 VDSL modem (whilst modem is connected to router) because unlike the HG612, this has only 1 LAN port and the only way to access the web GUI is by physically disconnecting the cable to router and plugging it into pc...a right old faff 

[Dray]

Presumably that's because on the Draytek the WAN port is bound to the LAN port?

The way this whole thing works is by having the modem on a different subnet to your normal LAN.

[SignedAdam]

There's an even easier way, if your using Xwrt-Vortex firmware on a compatible router or an Asus router, all thanks to this guilde
https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Access-modem-Web-UI-on-WAN-port-(no-script)

follow on from 8) from my guilde above if you have an Asus router or a router running XWRT-Vortex
9) Click Basic then WAN, look for "Port binding:" and untick LAN1 and LAN2 if LAN2 is unticked, leave it unticked, now click Submit

10) Now staying on the Basic Tab, click on "LAN" which you will find under WAN (the one your on)


11) On "LAN Host Settings" click on "IP address:" and change it to :

Code: [Select]

192.168.0.1
12) Now again press Submit, after you have waited 20 seconds, you should find the page has stopped working, dont press anything
disconnect ethernet, and connect to your router by wifi or connect to your router by ethernet,
13) Open internet Explorer or the New Microsoft Edge (don't try to use anything else)
14) Type in your routers address

Code: [Select]

192.168.1.1Login to your router with

Code: [Select]

admin & your password
15) WAN - Internet Connection
16) WAN IP Setting (under Get the WAN IP automatically) press NO
17) Under IP Address enter :

Code: [Select]

192.168.0.218) Under Subnet Mask enter :

Code: [Select]

255.255.255.019) Under Default Gateway enter :

Code: [Select]

192.168.0.1

that's it! all done!
