Here's your problem. eth0 has no address. The only IPv4 connectivity you
have is to 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0 via lo (below). Your computer has no way
to reach 192.168.1.254 so is legitimately returning "Network is
unreachable".

Try the following command:

# ip addr add 192.168.1.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255 dev eth0

then point your web browser to "http://192.168.1.254";. As Camaléon and
others have pointed out, you need to have an address on the same subnet
as your router to be able to talk to it. Often, this is done with DHCP,
but you may not have that set up if you've previously configured the
router.
