It will be either 192.168.0.0 or 10.1.1.1 maybe something similar. The info should come with the instructions or your ISP will have it.

Log into your router by typing these numbers into the address box of your browser. You will probably then need to log in with your ISP username and password.

Keep in mind that all routers and ISPs are different so I can only describe what happens on mine. You will find somewhere a 'Firewall' setting. This is the hard firewall contained in the router, not Windows firewall. Any settings above 'NORMAL' can limit your access to sites.
