The web address is the actual address of the router. I'm guessing you could consider the router as working as a server, and supplying the internet to you. So in order to configure the router, you have to go to it's IP address to set the parameters. The IP address is changeable, and usually recommended that you change it when you set it up. I changed mine, which I forgot about. So I'll go back up and change the link I posted.
Since the Linksys website has the power to make changes to your router, that tells me that you still have 'remote management' enabled. Which could allow a hacker to change the status of your router.
