You need not set your laptop ip as 172.x.x.x. Assign it

192.168.1.x
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

Now you should be able to access the router page.

I also want to do something similar to what gmg9 is describing here.

I have a cable internet connected to my PC. Now I want to setup a Wifi from this connection such that I can access internet on my wifi enabled mobile without the need of turning my PC on everytime

Now, I am not familiar with how to setup a Wifi or what are wifi devices, but I would like to know that if I purchase a Wifi adapter, can I setup a Wifi directly from cable connection and Wifi Device such that I can access internet on mobile without turning PC on everytime?? I am familiar with setting up networks and all... so if some1 can help me with this thing, I would be grateful....
