If you need to access 192.168.1.1 your pc must be on the same subnet ,
ei 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.3 would work, but 192.168.0.1 would not.

Check if your pc is using a static Ip address or DHCP. If its dHCP then
thsi should work out automatically, if static you must use an IP address
like 192.168.1.2 to be able to talk to the router.
