Does 192.168.1.1 work to access the routers web page?

Thanks Plemans and FURRYe38 for your help.  I tried connecting via 192.168.1.1 and it just times out (again, I can connnect that way to my 10 year old Netgear router - which I using temporariliy now)

 

I guess I need to buy a new one (and a new surge protector).   I looked at reviews and the model I'm having issues with still seems to be very highly rated, so I might end up re-buying somehting similiar (the AC2400)

 

Thanks again for your help.
