I'm starting to think that I don't know what ip address to use for the [router ip] during the cmd prompt. I tried both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.10 and both said "connect request failed". How do I definitively find the correct ip address to put there?

The IP address of your computer's Ethernet interface should be
"192.168.1.10" (or similar).If you're trying to talk to the router (using TFTP), then you specify
the _router's_ IP address in the TFTP command.> [...] "connect request failed".
If the router is sufficiently crippled, then it may not be running
