can´t connect to router

hi!
i got some problems, the thing is that i want to open up some ports on my router but i cant connect to it(i get perfectly internet speed , jus cant access the prefences) safari just tells me "Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.1.1/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.1.1”." i hope someone can help me

Some more information about your network would be helpful - including:

1) What router you are using
2) Are you sure you are using the 192.168.1.x class C?
3) are you sure that your router is sitting on 1.1?
4) have you tried https://you-router-ip/ ? perhaps in your configuring of the router you turned on ssl and accidentally turned off the regular http access?
5) Can you ping the router?

Just some questions to help get started.

Netgear WGR614 (i´m using airport)
what is class C? i dont know what you mean.
ye im sure i have checked that in network/advanced/TCP/IP
when i click the link i get the same error "Safari can’t open the page “https://you-router-ip/” because Safari can’t find the server “you-router-ip”."
i dont know how to ping the router
thank you for taking your time

to ping the router open up Terminal and type the following:
ping 192.168.1.1
you should get something like "64bytes from 192..."; if you don't then the router has a different address

try 192.168.1.254 or .250 (these are the ones I have encountered as default set anyway)

Can you try hooking up to the router with a network cable? I have seen at least one Netgear with an option to block configuration from WiFi. 192.168.1.1 is the stock IP Address for your router. Just checked the manual.

Also on OSX if you go System Preferences, Network, Airport, Advanced and the TCP/IP TAB, what is the address listed there? Also what shows for Router?

hi i´ve tried ping 192.168.1.1 and it works.
okay i´m no just writing exactly as it says in the TCP/IP tab i´m not very good at translae it so you can check your own if you dont understand swedish
Konfigurera IPv4: Med DHCP
IPv4-adress: 192.168.1.11
delnätsmask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1
hope this helps

If you open Safari and just type in 192.168.1.1 the router does not show up? That is the address for sure of your router.

Did you try my suggestion to hardwire the router to the Mac instead of using Wireless?

Maybe I should have been more clear - the section that said "your-router-ip" was meant to be manually typed in by you replacing the words with the ip address of your router, so it would have been:

https://192.168.1.1

Assuming that 192.168.1.1 is your router.

DTravis also makes a very good point in that many wifi routers do disable access to the configuration server via wireless (and for that matter from the wan port as well). As he suggested, you will want to get an ethernet cable and connect the computer directly to the router.

I don't know, but you may need to disable the Mac's wifi adapter when you hook in the ethernet. I'm not sure how OSX handles priority if both the wifi and the wired ethernet are connected for traffic - especially when they're connected to the same network.

i have connected it with a wire but still no success,(i turned of airport when i tried that)
and yes im sure that it´s the right adress to the router, at least it says so in the prefences, and i succesfully pinged the roouter on that adress.
still im glad for all advices
