One further bit of information. While brushing up on IP I found
this.
Definition: The IP address 192.168.1.0 represents the 192.168.1.x
range of addresses where x is between 1 and 255. 192.168.1.0 is a
private IP network. It is the default network (but not the default
address) for Linksys brand home broadband routers.
192.168.1.0 is not a valid IP address for a network router or other
host, and no device on your network should be configured to own this
address. Instead, 192.168.1.0 is used in routing tables and by the
Internet Protocol internally to identify the 192.168.1.x network as a
whole. A router or other network gateway device on these networks is
typically installed at 192.168.1.1, and other hosts use higher numbers
in the range.
At this point I would recommend changing the routers address.
Just to clarify things a little, many (most?) TCP/IP implementations
allow for the 0 address in a subnet to be used as a valid IP address. If
you see 192.168.1.0 on its own, it's most likely an IP address. If it's
paired with 255.255.255.0 as a network mask, or has a /24 on the end of
it, then it's a network. It's also possible (even common) for that
network is subdivided into multiple smaller networks (e.g. /28).
The suggestion to try 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.1.0 is reasonable,
though.
