can't access router anymore
Hello.
I have a Siemens Router (SL2-141-I), which is also a DSL modem.
I want to change the settings (PPPOE), but can't access the router Web interface anymore by typing 192.168.1.1 in Safari. The manual says this is the standard IP, and I accessed it before, but it didn't work, via LAN nor WLAN.
I can't seem to reset it, the button that seems to be for that, isn't labeled and even pressing it, only seems to restart the device.
The manual says that resetting works via the Web interface, which is quite stupid. I have encountered several routers, which only needed a firm press of a button.
The other thing is, that my MacBook's IP address is 169.254.132.144 and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 via DHCP (be it LAN or WLAN).
That's strange, as normally you have an IP like 192.168.0.XXX and a mask like 255.255.255.0.
I couldn't find any good answers via Google, maybe someone here can push me into the right direction.
Thank you in advance for any help.

I already checked all the tabs in the advanced settings, but there was no info regarding the router.
Even pinging various addresses didn't bring any results.
Reason why I ask is that I have never been able to use Safari to access my router and had to use OmniWeb to, which later failed and now I use Firefox for access.
I also tried Firefox, but no connection there either.
I've never encountered such a strange problem before, maybe the router is frakked.
The Reason for that is often a bad Signal and/or Distortion. Log in to your Router via Ethernet (If the problem is the same with Lan, try a reset, and hope DHCP is working again ...) and change the channels (1 to 14 mostly) . Try a reset of the router. Try a better location for the thing and so on. This are possibilities I would try. o_O

But I didn't know about the IP address and subnet mask.
I just exchange the router it for a working one.
