Hi,

how can I access the XMG3927 when it is in bridge mode?

Hi @bavaria

The user manual available under Downloads at https://www.zyxel.com/nl/nl/products/dsl-cpe/dual-band-wireless-ac-n-g-fast-gateway-xmg3927-b50a in English might help you.

Happy New Year.

Kind regards,

HI tonygibbs16,

please be a little more specific,

I already searched in the manual but did't find it

Hi @bavaria

Neither did I explicitly find it either.

Are you saying that you have tried connecting to http://192.168.1.1 when the XMG3927-B50A is in bridge mode and do not get a response?

Kind regards,

Hi tonygibbs16,

Right, I have tried http(s)://192.168.1.1 but it does not work.

If there is no solution, I will do a reset.

Thought that someone has an idea :-)

Hi @bavaria

I did a Google Search and this help article came up: https://support.zyxel.eu/hc/en-us/articles/360001482220-Setting-the-VMG-as-Modem-Bridge-Mode-

It says at the end of it that "The VMG can still be accessed via it's management IP." when it is in bridge mode.
     - the help article even uses screenshots from an XMG3927-B50A as an example.

The following article might also help: https://kitz.co.uk/routers/zyxel_VMG8324-B10A_bridge.htm

and maybe this forum post might help: https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=24807.15 where someone was trying to set-up an XMG3927-B50A in Bridge mode.

and maybe this might help: https://techymikeuk.co.uk/soho-router-tutorials/zyxel-xmg-3927-b50a-bridge-mode-setup/

When you are trying to access 192.168.1.1 you need to have the browser you are using also with a 192.168.1.x IP address so that it is on the same subnet with subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Can you do a traceroute (tracert on Windows) and paste the output here, so that I and others can see how close you get to getting to 192.168.1.1 please?

Kind regards,

Hi tonygibbs16,

Thanks, I already knew the first and last link.

The information regarding a second interface group is great and I will implement that.

Access to the modem is working now, after I turned it off to remove it, to get better access. After I turned it back on, access worked as if there had never been a problem.

So this problem is now solved.

PS: you are right, the access to the modem works only from the same ip range, in the default from 192.168.1.0/24

Thanks for your support
