Cannot access 192.168.1.1

I cannot access 192.168.1.1 in Ubuntu 14.04.I use wireless router TP-LINK TD-W8901G.It worked on windows but it doesn't work on Ubuntu.Any ideas what should I do?

The output of ifconfig is:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 60:a4:4c:4e:94:ab inet6 addr: fe80::62a4:4cff:fe4e:94ab/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:47087 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:49475 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:35977992 (35.9 MB) TX bytes:7791380 (7.7 MB)

The output of ping 192.168.1.1 is :

PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 125.21.0.109 icmp_seq=1 Destination Net Unreachable
From 125.21.0.109 icmp_seq=2 Destination Net Unreachable
From 125.21.0.109 icmp_seq=3 Destination Net Unreachable
From 125.21.0.109 icmp_seq=4 Destination Net Unreachable

Then it went to infinite loop.I had to interrupt it.

Your ifconfig output shows that your eth0 device does not have an associated IP address.

  • Does your computer tell you you are indeed connected to the AP?

You can set a static IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 range (ie: 192.168.1.201) with a gateway of 192.168.1.1 and attempt accessing your router after that.

Thanks everyone,I used this command:

sudo dhclient eth0

And now I have access.
