Unable to access router page (Asus RT-N16)

Google so far has proven unhelpful, and I'm hoping that you fine folks will better understand my problem.
My router seems to be working just fine. I have an Asus RT-N16. I'm connected to the Internet and my home network just fine (I'm using it wirelessly on this laptop right now). I can access the external hard drive that I have hooked up to it as well. But when I type the router's address into a web browser it just spins endlessly instead of pulling up the admin page where I could alter settings and whatnot. I tried power cycling it, and that didn't help, but all of my devices came back up and could connect to the Internet again.
Any idea what's going on, and/or what I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance for the help.

Some routers are weird about letting you into their settings wirelessly.
What's the internal IP address of the computer you're trying to connect from? It has to be on the same subnet as the router (192.168.1.XXX) though since your internet works it sounds like it is.
Edit:
The troubleshooting for that router suggests clearing cookies and temporary internet files if you can't access the router's admin page. Worth a shot.
Additionally, try connecting using https instead of http.
Yeah, that's what I had to do with the Belkin (blech) router I had for a while. It would occasionally just decide it didn't want me to access its settings from any computer, via any browser, ever, and would only let me in there again after I reset it entirely. Actually, come to think of it, it's a long shot, but you could try accessing it via a different browser. I mean, it probably won't do anything, but then again, computers are involved...
