What is the ip from your computer?
The default for the router is 10.0.0.2.
So you need to set the IP from your computer in the same range, with 10.0.0.2 as GW
Or set it to use DHCP

First of all, reboot your router and computer.
Take the manual book for your router and find out what is exact IP of your router WEB page(if you did not change it).

Then try to ping it, for example ping 192.168.1.150.

Post here output of "ifconfig"
