Mostly home broadband routers by default configured to the 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. This range is completely different from the 192.1.1 range and solely used in the home or private IP network range. 192.1.1 is mostly used in public internet places and can be generated by a public network host which works on 192.1.1.0 to 192.1.1.255 IP range.
