Trying to login to my Plusnet router using 192.168.1.254 does not work

192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1 also do not work.

I'm concerned about this and wonder if my router has been hacked.

Also I'm reluctant to reset my router and possibly loose connection to the internet.

Does anyone have a similar problem?

Sorry running Linux should not be relevant to my router access problem. Please can you help advise on my subject.

What happens when you enter '192.168.1.254' into the address bar of your browser?

Fix

@silvefleece 

It's 192.168.1.254. Try clearing your browser cache and/or try a different browser.

The tab in my browser Firefox just hunts.

Also I get "Activation of Network connection failed" quite often

Thank you very much. Works with Chromium browser. Grr to Firefox. I'll now clear its cache and see is that solves my problem.

Thank you again Baldric1. Clearing Firefox cache fixed my problem there too. That's really strange that Firefox cache had that effect.

The reference to Linux is part of @Strat 's signature, not a comment on your post.
