Be sure that you hold down the reset button until the lights flash to reset.

Try both 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 with the ethernet device plugged in, and get an automatic DHCP address.

Once you get into it, flash it with this?

or just upgrade it with this first.

You can always reflash it with LinkSys open source software firmware later if OpenWRT is hated.

Here's the documentation related to how to setup that device from Cisco:

Before I spend the $$ for a new router, I decided to try upgrading the
firmware on what I have. I went to Linksys.com & downloaded a
firmware upgrade. I was going to do the recommended backup of the
router settings before installing it, but I can't connect to the the
blasted router! As instructed, I tried connecting to
  http://192.168.1.1/. I've tried from
Seamonkey, Mozilla, & IE7 and
get "Network Timeout" from all.

  
Are you connecting to it from wired or wireless connection? I believe
the default system is to block remote management from wireless
connections.
