You're supposed to have that IP (which should be 192.168.1.xxx)

You can change it, but that's a block reserved for Local Area Networks (LANs, like you have), so it would be against your best interests to change it.

There are sometimes when changing it would be useful (which is why the feature is there) but it doesn't sound like you need to.

So don't worry about it. Just memorise the IP, you'll be needing it a lot (accessing the router, other machines, port forwarding, etc.)
