Thanks.  192.168.1.1 was the correct IP to use.  Unfortunately, since I 
never used the installation software (Windows/Mac only) I was never 
granted admin access to the router.  It took me a day to track down the 
default username and password to let me in.  I have now changed the 
defaults and have access to the configuration menus.

All is well with the world ;-)
