192.169.1.1 is a companies firewall - it's NOT YOU !
The IP address resolves to igw.fmc.com

Doing a WHOIS (using Sam Spade) tells you that it is a company called FMC (not a big suprise there!)

The only security implication is to FMC Corp - but they obviously know that their firewall is open to the public, via a username and password.
Wanna bet they they are logging attempted connections??? If they see lots of attempts to break into the Username / password they may just contact your ISP!
