Two suggestions -- 1) If you're getting Internet access through the router, run a route -n (or netstat -nr) The gateway for the default route should match the IP address of the router. It isn't necessarily 192.168.2.1 You should be able to access the router admin interface through the gateway address. 2) Reset the router. There's usually some way, perhaps with a paper clip, to restore the default original settings for the router.
