I need advice on a docs is 3.0 cable modem. I just bought a Motorola mb7220-10, it turns out there is nothing that is configurable. It's hard coded to 192.168.100 and I want 192.168.0 There's no DMZ or port forwarding. This was not clear when I ordered it. So I'm looking for one that I can configure with a DMZ and set to 192.168.0, I don't need WiFi and I'd like it to cost under $100. My download speed will only be 30mb so I don't need docsis 3.1 Anyone have any recommendations?
