That address is not a 'site' - it's the IP address of your router! - i.e. it's (probably) the gateway address.

Try browsing to an actual website instead.

(BTW _ how are you managing to post here?)

Not sure what a 'network thing' is - care to elaborate?

Have you managed to access the setup pages of the router? There may be some settings to adjust. I'd also suggest you enable encryption security on your wireless network, unless you want everyone in the neighbourhood to have free access to the Internet over YOUR connection.
