Find router IP address and access router configuration

I am having problems configuring my router. I am running windows 7. I gathered that you got to the router configuration page by entering its internal IP address in the browser, and that this internal IP came up under Default Gateway after running ipconfig. The address that comes up there, under the section "Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection" is 192.168.0.1. However, when I enter that in the browser (with or without "http://" at the start), it does not connect, on any browser or telnet. Strangely, "ping 192.168.0.1" does produce a response. 192.168.1.1 also doesn't appear to be the IP (it won't connect either). I can access other internet sites. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for the help, rebooting the router worked.

plz specify your router name – Ashildr – 2013-09-03T17:04:40.613

It is a virgin media superhub, I believe. – rlms – 2013-09-03T17:05:37.450

try 192.168.100.1 – Ashildr – 2013-09-03T17:09:34.790

That page doesn't seem to load (it says connecting, but it has been doing so for a minute or so) – rlms – 2013-09-03T17:18:18.197

if you could find any button for resetting your router hold it for a while.try those options again – Ashildr – 2013-09-03T17:20:32.987

What response produce ping 192.168.0.1? – SuB – 2013-09-03T17:21:43.330

The normal response to a ping I think "x bytes recieved in y milliseconds" or something – rlms – 2013-09-03T17:26:58.630

@DEFCON1 Thanks, rebooting made it work – rlms – 2013-09-03T17:27:21.147

The default gateway is the correct address to use. You mentioned in a comment that your router is a "virgin media superhub". According to this page: http://store.virginmedia.com/discover/broadband/your-broadband/keep-connected/super-hub-help.html the 192.168.0.1 address is the correct default.

If the web configuration page is not coming up at that address, there is a problem with the router. You can try resetting the router to its default settings using the steps provided at that link I posted.

If this device was put into "modem" mode you need to use 192.168.100.1 to access it as @DEFCON suggests.

If you can't reach it either way, hold any reset button down on the device for 30 seconds and try again.

I'm rebooting the router now. Edit: rebooted, and it works. I suppose I should really have tried turning it off and on again first... – rlms – 2013-09-03T17:21:55.090
