I'm volunteering to refinish some stuff for my sister-in-law & although I have faith in elbow grease, she likes toys.
Painted or varnished stuff?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
dcp, thanks for the Star Contact tip. It's beyond me why both this and Android's default contact app decide that displaying the phone number is better than displaying the company name when there's a company name. But the searchability is a start.

dug out my "old" router, a d-link di-524, and the 198.162.0.1 address won't play and the official site says the product itself is no longer made and the tech support is discontinued.
Does this mean that I'm screwed, or is there a workaround?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
For starters, doublecheck the address you're entering -- it should be 192.168.0.1, not 198.162... And make sure that you're accessing it from a wired connection, if you're currently trying wireless (from what I remember, D-Links won't let you in to the admin from a wireless connection at all)
There are a lot of sites out there that list the default passwords for various router models, and it's usually possible to reset to the default if you changed it later. The fact that they're not offering support sucks for looking stuff up, but there isn't usually much on a router that changes or needs updating.

Sorry, typing from memory. Yes, that's what I entered. I get a IE cannot display webpage/diagnose connection problems. When I click on diagnose, I get "your computer is configured correctly, but the device or resource is not responding".

Oh, and I have had routers come back from the dead with a different power supply. check the specs on the box and make sure you have the right one, and if you do, try one form something else with similar specs.
I have one that I got to work with a generic power supply.

Different power supply?
Forgive me, but different from the plug that goes into the router and the wall, or a different wall outlet? Or, like, should I try wind energy and nuclear. This is outside my ken.

stratta: reset router. IP address is still bunk.
