Cannot change router name and password on C6300
First time trying to change router/wifi name and password.
I went to www.routerlogin.net and it says I am not connected to my routers wifi network. I cleared cookies and still same message. I typed in my IP address into the search bar as a recommended troubleshoot and the webpage can not be displayed.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

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

Briefly, the idea is that "[www.]routerlogin.net" (or ".com") should
point to your own router, but that's true only if you use your own
router for DNS name resolution. Regardless, you should be able to get
to the thing using its IP address, if you can determine (or guess) that.
Normally, that would be something like "192.168.0.1", but it could be
different.

Which "my IP address"?
