That is NOT a public address, it's a private one, which kinda knocks your "I know what I'm doing" comment a bit out of whack. If I type in 192.168.1.1 I will not hit your router, I will hit mine.

I never used a PS3's web browser, but I'd try to use a regular computer and see what happens. If you can get to the PS3 network settings, see what it shows for a Gateway, that should be the router's IP. Did you change any settings on the router or PS3?

Use a 'real' computer and add a static address, let's say 192.168.1.7 with the mask of 255.255.255.0. No DNS and Gateway IPs needed. I assume you have Windows 7:
Control Panel-->Network and Internet-->Network Connections-->Right click on adapter--> Click proprieties-->Click Internet Protocol Version 4-->Clock on Properties--> Select 'Use the following IP address'-->Enter IP address and mask.

Now, connect the computer LAN connection to one of the LAN ports of your Netgear router, use your PC browser (I use Firefox) and enter 192.168.1.1. If this does not work enter either (you may want to try this first from your PS3 before jumping to a 'real' PC):

• http://www.routerlogin.net
• http://www.routerlogin.com

I have a WNR2000 Netgear router, I do not know what yours is but I assume all Netgear routers accessed the same way.
Once you programmed your router, set the PC's setting back where they were, connect the clients to the router and you should be home free.

Let me know if this worked.
