1st router.
I can't connect to my wireless router setting page at 192.168.1.1. in chrome it says "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED". I didn't have this problem before. this happens to another router too. I'm using a wireless network adapter for wireless connection. I changed my MAC address, used this command: NETSH WINSOCK RESET , restarted PC, refreshed everything using IE settings.
2nd router
There is another router for my friend that gave me it's password and I used to connect to it successfully but now i can't. I tried everything i could but none of them worked. I'm using Windows 8.1 and the error i get when trying to connect to that router is this: "Can't connect to this network". on this network my friend set up a QOS and set a static Internal IP for my MAC address. I don't know what's wrong with my computer. I also haven't Installed any Windows updates recently.

1st.
the problem is OS related. It's only my computer that refuses to connect to the router settings, other computers can successfully connect to
192.168.1.1.2nd.
I found what the problem was, the way router was responding to my connection request even with different devices was weird so that's how i found it. It was about Wireless MAC filtering which gives the router the ability to allow only wireless devices with specific MAC address to connect to it. my friend also confirmed it.
