We have gigabit internet service and TiVo service in the same house, so as a result we are required to use Mediacom's gateway to get MOCA to work with DOCSIS 3.1. Until recently, I have been able to access the proper modem interface through the default 192.168.100.1 web link, but as of a week or two ago it began redirecting to a broken Mediacom link that never works, even when the internet is up (https://mediacom-prod.clearaccess.com/ etc.) which just says "Too many redirects" and loads in no browser.
So now when the internet goes down I cannot view the logs, nor can I access the port forwarding features of the router (which I couldn't access even through the clearaccess page even if it were working) - What advantage is Mediacom gaining by preventing users from accessing the device they're forced into paying to use? I know this has been discussed repeatedly in the past and the end result is "get your own modem", but as I said, because of MOCA requirements for TiVo which is what Mediacom now offers for DVR service, that isn't a choice anymore.
