the modem to permit access of the modem UI without adjusting network configuration on the administrative
laptop.

If you are unable to view the modem UI, do the following:
-Check that your gateway is set to 10.0.0.1.
-Turn off extra adapters that my interfere with routing (for example, Wi-Fi).
To resolve routing, manually configure the laptop routing table to specify that all traffic bound for 192.168.44.1 goes
to a gateway at 10.0.0.1.
