[Modem/Router] Need help accessing admin page of DPC-3825

I need help with accessing the admin page of Rogers' Cisco DPC-3825 modem-router combo.

My friend's HP Photosmart 5510 wireless printer shows on the front panel that it is connected wirelessly to DPC-3825, and has an IP address of 192.168.0.12. However, my friend cannot print wirelessly. This printer does print when connected to the PC via a USB cable.

Since my intention is to give the printer a static IP or “Pre-assigned DHCP IP address” so that the wireless connection is more stable, I have the following temporary set up for reaching the admin page:

Wall > Coaxial cable > DPC-3825

One end of CAT5 cable to a LAN port of DPC-3825

The other end to friend's PC. Both modem-router unit and PC have power on.

Temporarily change Properties of IPv4 connection from “Automatically connected” to “IP =192.168.0.10” , “DNS = 192.168.0.1”

When I try to get into the admin page of DPC-3825 by typing the default IP 192.168.0.1 of the unit into the browser, I cannot reach this page at all even though there's Internet access, e.g. Google home page.

I would appreciate your suggestions.

Figure out what the PC's internal IP address is (as assigned by the router).

If the IP is 192.168.X.Y, the router is 192.168.X.1 (in all likelihood)

N.B. On a PC you should be able to find this by typing 'ipconfig' at a command prompt; on a Mac it will be displayed in your network preferences.
