Was the devie running OpenWrt?

If so, you'll use the failsafe method (you need to manually configure your ethernet adatper's network settings):

Check if the router responds to IPv6. In a command prompt run:
ping ff02::2%16
(Note that 16 is the interface number that Windows enumerated your Ethernet card which I can see from ipconfig. The number will be different on other PCs.)
If you get two replies, one is the PC and the other one-- which will have a slightly longer response time-- is the router.
