Th R7800s IP addresss should be 192.168.1.1 if your using it's default IP configuration.

Use your Pc and a wired connection to the router. Download the FW file and apply it thru the routers web page. I recommend using FireFox or Opera to do this.

Please post about this here next time for your model router:

You might try Voxels 3rd party FW as well. 

Enjoy.
