I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE
INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

Some routers, most that I've dealt with in fact, will NOT let you access the management page over wifi by default, but rather only via wired connections, could try that if you haven't already.

Cool, thank you for the help.
Unfortunately, I tried the IP address in both browsers - I.E. and Firefox with no results either. Same error message- can't display the page.
Well, I remember maybe 10 years ago doing what I'm trying to do now all the time through a browser- and it worked fine. I guess with technology evolving maybe most management pages are now only available via wired connections like you say.
But where does the router management page to change the network channel get displayed? Just plug usb to usb from router to laptop and a display page should be shown? I know hooking up some Cat5 cable has nothing to do with this, right?
Thank you both, your advice has been helpful. I've been working on this issue for 2 days and its so ridiculous because looking at inSSIDer clearly! shows that I'm experiencing my slow speeds due to sharing my wifi channel with like 10 other people around me. I just need to change channels to 1, 6, or 11 but I can't sort out how!
Plug your computer/laptop directly into the router via ethernet aka cat5/cat6 whatever you've got. USB does not care about IP or MAC addresses, so plugging USB in then trying to hit an IP address will not do anything because your computer is attempting to use its' ethernet connection (either wired or wireless) to access that address, not the USB.
