So I own an airport extreme A1143 and I would like to change some of the router settings. I tried typing 10.0.1.1 since it is what is recognized in "ipconfig" but i also tried every single other possible options so I don't think the problem comes from that. Also, Airport utility doesn't recognize anything so I can't use that? Could you guys please help me?
 
I have had this problem very recently (literally yesterday) and every single thing I found pointed to just factory reseting, however there is one option you can try:

Go into Control panel in your network and sharing settings,
Then, open your specific network (i.e. if you're in windows 7, click where it says Local Area Connection in blue)
Third go to properties and click "Internet protocol Version 4" and then properties
set your static ip to what ipconfig says your router's ip is,
set your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Now try to access your router.

Im not sure how to translate this to windows 8 as I only use windows 7, but Im sure you can figure it out.

If this fails (assuming you did it correctly), you probably have to factory reset your router.
 


So I easily accessed the page to change it but i might have messed up when i entered it because it shut down my windows. This is what I did : http://gyazo.com/47dd99591e376b0d88ab9c4902e7bf6c which reads like in this order : IP Adress, subnet mask, default gateaway then Preferred DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server. Halp?
