You can not connect it to an existing network unless it is on the same subnet. 
Since your current subnet is 192.168.1.xx and the router is 192.168.0.1 which
is a different subnet they can not communicate.

What I do in this case is connect a computer directly to the the router by
cable and change its address.

To initially connect to the router you can use DHCP which will give the
computer a 192.168.0.xx address.  Then you can use your browser to change the
router address.

If you do not use DHCP you will need to use the TCP/IP settings to change the
computer address to 192.168.0.xx.  Then you can use your browser to change its
address.
