I know how to fix the problem, but I cannot access my firewall settings on my Arris router due to the default gateway IP address. It gives me 69.178.32.1 but when I type that into my search bar no connection is found. I can access my wireless routers page with no problem. But when directly hooked up to my router it's a no go. Please help me.
