I just tried to get into my routers setup page... 192.168.1.1 and entered the password and user name. But when i pressed enter, it redirected to some search engine page, with linksys by cisco at the top. (its a linksys router) WTF is going on?

Spyware on your computer.
Access it via the command line

I'll have a play with mine at home.
Sometimes you can telnet into those routers from the command line

either try a hard reset on the router (normally push the reset button in for 10-15 secs) and then try the 192.168.1.1 address again.
If that doesnt work, click start menu and run "cmd.exe" then simpily type ipconfig. Your router's address should be shown as default gateway address. If its different from 192.168.1.1 then try it in the browser window and you should be able to view it

Factory reset
By doing this you could have had this problem fixed hours ago.

(this might work) Try booting your PC into safe mode with networking support, and then try accessing your router's home page.
Safe mode shouldn't in theory load up any spyware on your PC.

when you say you pressed enter, are you refering to the keyboard return key? are you sure the tab order is not selecting help or something, have you tried clicking login / enter?

Yea, im using dots no : lol i was on my phone at the time and it was just easier. I havent done a hard reset as of yet, as my dad is the only one who knows the Password for teh internetz. If its not fixed by the time he gets in from work then thats what ill do. Ill try safe mode when i get in. Im sure theres no spyware on my pc tho i scan regulary. We even tried to get in to the router using my mums work laptop.
EDIT: Yes ima twat and had my router defult as Admin:Admin

You are getting a password prompt when navigating to 192.168.1.1 aren't you?

Wouldn't your routers default IP be http://192.168.0.1 ?

Oh, ignore that, it seems that Linksys use http://192.168.1.1 for deconfliction.
