1
Confirm it's your gateway
Some routers use 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 instead. Check your default gateway first.

2
Type the address correctly
Use
http://192.168.1.1— no www, no .com, and not in the search box. -
3
Disable VPN / proxy
An active VPN or proxy can block access to local addresses. Turn it off and retry.

Try another browser or device
Clear the cache, use a private window, or try a different device on the same network.
