As Scott pointed out, it definitely should be 192.168.x.x, as that is a
private/reserved network address. 198.162.254.x belongs to a financial
group in Canada.

Here's a trick. Assign any ip address to your linux box (probably
192.168.1.x) and watch network traffic as the router boots. Some devices
will arp for their own IP when booting.

tcpdump -nepi eth0 ether proto \\arp

And look for something from the router's MAC that looks like

5:10:25.993167 0:4:75:7c:5a:c3 Broadcast arp 60: arp who-has 192.168.1.1
tell 192.168.1.1

Whatever ip address shows up in the arp is most likely the router. Give
your linux box an address on that network and see if you can ping it.
