Run µTorrent's Speed Guide (CTRL+G).

Do its speed test and port checker.

Use the Speed Guide settings that most closely matches your connection's UPLOAD speed.

...and start learning how to properly set up your router/firewall/antivirus so µTorrent is unfirewalled but not just anything can connect from the internet to your computer.

It's perfectly ok to run firewalled till then...may even get good speeds on torrents with lots of seeds+peers.

Er... 192.164.1.1...? Not 192.168.1.1?

Do you have a firewall? If not, try a hard reset on the router? That clears all settings on the router, which might fix the fact that you can't connect to the router, if you are indeed entering the correct IP. A hard reset would be where you press and hold the small button for a while (maybe 30 seconds to a minute) somewhere on the router with something thin, like an opened paperclip.

Sorry, got confused with another thread, so I didn't realize you were the one who asked that earlier. Um, the only thing I can think of that might screw up is the PPPoE settings, but only if you're using DSL. If you know your login information, then that likely wouldn't be an issue. All you'd have to do after it gets reset (assuming you can't get back online) would be to fill in the PPPoE stuff.
