Visiting it opens the router's admin page.
Routers from D-Link, many Netgear and older TP-Link models default to 192.168.0.1, while others use 192.168.1.1. The two networks are completely separate: a device at 192.168.0.20 can't reach 192.168.1.1 without a router between them. If your Mac's address starts with 192.168.0., your router is almost certainly at 192.168.0.1.
