What IP are you SSHing from?  Normally if you are on the same
network as the target then your traffic won't go through a router at
all.

If you mean from outside, we would have to know more about your
network setup.  192.168.*.* addresses are not globally routable so
you would generally need to use NAT to forward a port on your router
to port 22 of 192.168.1.2 for example.

Cheers,
Andy
