This is pretty normal.  Many routers are set to 192.168.1.1.  The simple way 
to deal with it is to change the ip of one of your boxes to 192.168.1.x and 
use that box to access the router.  Then you will be able to change the router 
address to 192.168.0.1.  Reboot.  You must then change your box back to 
192.168.0.x  From then on your router can be configured through your normal 
browser without problems.
