I can't access R7000 Help

I flashed my R7000 with Advanced tomato and have been using it for almost a year with PIA VPN.  Today I tried to create a wireless client on it to attach to my Apple Router and I changed the routers IP to 10.0.0.1.  I saved it rebooted and now I can't connect

 

What have I done?  What can I do to fix the issue

 

Thanks

 

John

Doesn't work at all. Plugged into my computer and the setup screen doesn't come up. OK, I think, I'll use the mywifiext.com and mywifiext.net sites that they suggest as a backup. Neither site is live. Just connection errors.
