I changed the IP address of my router a while ago and kept track of it using the previously typed addresses in the address bar.Thing is, I cleared my history a few weeks ago and now I can't remember what the IP address is. The default gateway shown for my wireless adapter (And my fathers ethernet port) is our external IP address. Is there a way to view the IP address of my router if not shown here?

Otherwise try Network Sharing Center, and Change Adapter Settings, Status, Details.
and if in Default Gateway tab is your external IP, then it means that your connection is not behind the router, and it connect straight to the internet.

But you can try 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.138.

Press Windows button + R , then type in CMD , Enter , then in that box type in ipconfig , Enter ,
Default Gateway is your router/server internal address.

Otherwise try Network Sharing Center, and Change Adapter Settings, Status, Details.
and if in Default Gateway tab is your external IP, then it means that your connection is not behind the router, and it connect straight to the internet.

Ipconfig, ipconfig /all and any traceroutes I run all return an IP address that is external, and seems to belong to someone other than myself. Using the address returned, I get a "This webpage is not available" message.

Ah I think I see what you're saying. I set the router up originally to be an bridge for upstairs from the original router downstairs, so instead it's bridging from the fibre optic receiver thingy to the computers. So it appears I cannot login to the router if it's connected to the internet. Shame :/

Thank you for the help anyway, I appreciate it.

If you changed the address to a non reserved A B C class address then you will need to reset your router.
Your router would have had a reserved C class address 192.168.X.X
The reserved addresses are never forwarded to the external port.
You can use Google to find the default address / username/password for your specific brand/model

If it's not for Modem to multiple Router setup, then you would want to bridge the Modem to allow a non-ISP (Router) provided device to do the NAT, Firewall, DHCP etc.
So that you take full advantage of your new router if it has better hardware or something.

You want to disable Firewall, NAT, DHCP server in your Modem, then set that up on your router instead, that way you may get (probably) Default Getaway (since router will provide DHCP) and better bandwidth management by router (if it's better than modem).
But again like I wrote before, don't do it on a Modem to multiple Router setup.


Edit:
Yeah or it is just that:

list of Reserved IP4v addresses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses just for reference and A B C classes are just the different network size, does not matter.
But generally you don't want to change your Router/Modem Default Server to a non-reserved (random) A B C address.
