It can happen due to many factors:

1. Router IP address might be different

2. Browser cache is full

3. Improper local host setting or malicious influence

4. Firewall blocking

Solution:

1. Make sure that router IP address is 192.168.1.1

ie. On command prompt type

ping 192.168.1.1 and make sure that you are getting valid replies.

2. Clear browser cache

3. Clear temporary internet files

4. Use a different browser

5. Disable the security suit installed on your computer and try again

I hope it will work.

First of all please make sure that the router IP address is 192.168.1.1 by referring the router manual. If you cannot make sure it please try the number below.

192.168.0.1

Or disconnect power cable from the router for 30 seconds and connect it back. When the LAN light is steady on the router try top access the web based setup page.
