It isn't a standard, but I've noticed consumer Linksys routers are found at 192.168.1.1 and dLink are at 192.168.1.1
And you will want the manual so you can go in and change the admin password ASAP. People like to wardrive (drive around finding open access points) and some of them will know the default passwords and get up to hanky panky, like renaming you access point to something "colourful" or even locking you out.
Then you will want to set up WPA if you can can. Turning off the SSID is a pretty useless step - you can still see there is a WAP and anyone who is interested isn't going to be slowed by a missing SSID for more than 30 seconds - a sniffer will grab the SSID pretty quickly. Encryption is the main thing.

I think he means 192.168.0.1 for dlink :P
