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

      RX bytes:911258 (911.2 KB)  TX bytes:742138 (742.1 KB)

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.
