I can't login to my router

I need to login to my router and see if changing a few settings will make a difference my Wii not being able to connect to the wireless router..

However, I cannot login to my router from either of my pc's, or my netbook. I've tried them all via wireless, and the netbook via wire, and still I can't get into it using 192.168.1.1 I've done it before, and even had that address bookmarked in firefox but for some reason now it just says

The connection has timed out
The server at 192.168.1.1 is taking too long to respond.

I've looked around the web for help, and someone said that if I can't ping that address, then there's a problem.. but I can ping it. I've also tried that address with a few different numbers at the end but still nothing.

Any ideas?

Tried rebooting the router?

Whats your default gateway when you do ipconfig?

Tried doing 192.168.1.1:8080 or 192.168.1.1:8081 in case port number been altered?

Worst case is just reset the router

OMG you total legend! It worked with 192.168.1.1:8080

I'm pretty clueless about these things, so have no idea why that worked but thanks so much.

For the record, my router is a Hauewei Echolife HG520S.. I don't know how I reset the router though. I'm assuming that would wipe all settings to defauls and remove all the ports that I forwarded?

Now I just need to work out why the Wii doesn't like my wifi

Thanks again to all for the quick replies!
