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.
