Try a different browser; a friend of mine had the same problem with Chrome
Do you have some other program that could be blocking port 80 such as a firewall? try disabling your firewall.

Read this for info on finding the correct gateway. http://www.ehow.com/how_8161989_do-gateway-ip-windows-vista.htmlNo. Port 80 does not need to be open unless you are hosting a website.
That could be. Some routers only allow you to connect via a wire (so not wi-fi), so you may need to plug your computer directly into it and then try again.
Well, did you try what I said?
Wait, you say you have Optimum Online? As far as I can tell, they only offer modems for their internet customers. Are you sure that the Optimum box is your router, not your modem?
What's a modem? As far as I remember, the times I had troubles with my internet and router stuff, Optimum came and fixed it. That give you anything?
A modem has only one ethernet port and usually one cable and/or one or two phone jacks.A router has multiple ethernet ports but no cable nor phone jack.Some ISPs give you a combo router-modem.
Err, (another stupid question) I will name the brands of my internet stuff. There is the thinner one, which is made by NETGEAR, and a thicker one that's made by Arris.
The Netgear device is probably the router and the Arris device is the modem.
