Cannot get on to my router homepage

Hi- I have a Thompson 585 router.
Recently I have been unable to get on to the router Gateway Home page. When I type in 192 etc the connnection times out. I had also bookmarked the homepage and the bookmark doesn't work either.
I have no real need at the moment to go to the Gateway home page but I may need to do so in the future.
I have not to my knowledge changed the address of the homepage.
I have recently changed my contract from a 10GB limited one to an unlimited one, might that have something to do with it?
I used to be able to get on to the homepage without any problem.

A reboot of the router should do it....switch off at the plug...wait 10 seconds....switch back on.

That's odd. If you open a command prompt and type in 'ipconfig' what does the default gateway show as?

Nope, shouldn't make any difference.

Thank you both for answering- I tried turning it off and then back on again as suggested and it worked. Should have tried that first anyway. Thanks again.
