Symptoms

You type http://192.168.1.1/ in your router and it either gives you "404 page not found" error or redirects you to search.

Quick Resolution (will not always work)

Try other popular router IP addresses like:

http://192.168.0.1/

http://192.168.1.2/

http://192.168.1.254/

One of them may work and give you router administration page.
