Welcome to what may be the worst error message in the world. For an
explanation, try:

Briefly, the idea is that "[www.]routerlogin.net" should point to
your own router, but that's true only if you use your own router for DNS
name resolution. Irregardful, you should be able to get to the thing
using its IP address, if you can determine (or guess) that.
I don't see how you can get to that page if you specify the router's
IP address. Knowing what "my computer" is might help in deciding how to
determine the router's IP address. You can often get it from your
computer's IP configuration as the default gateway or router address (or
some similar description).
