I can't find my modem IP at all

Every tutorial I've found so far help me find my router IP but I need my modem IP as well. I have two devices, a wifi router and a dsl modem, not 2 in 1.

The ipconfig -> default gateway, returns the wifi router IP. I can't find the modem IP at all. I already tried many 192.168.x.x ips and nothing.

Computers behind a router are on the router's LAN (local area network) side, and the modem is on the router's WAN (wide area network) side, so they are separate networks, and the modem would not have a 192.168.x.x IP address, since it's not local. You need to connect to your router's configuration website and see what it says is the modem's IP address.

Sounds like you might have some 'double NAT' going on. If so it'd be better to put your 'WiFi router' into a 'WiFi access point' mode... but that's later.

The easiest way to interrogate the dsl modem is likely to be to unplug the WiFi box and put it away. Then connect the dsl modem directly to your computer using the ethernet wire that used to connect the two boxes.

Then repeat your ipconfig instructions.
