Ok, this one has me stumped. A few weeks ago I started having this issue with the internet at my house. My laptop will show excellent connection to the router but I can't open any pages or even refresh the pages that are already open. Every time I try to go to a new page, I get redirected to the Google search page and it gives me search results for what I typed into the address bar. For example, I open Internet Explorer and type in www.google.com (http://www.google.com) it will take me to a search page for google.com and www.google.com (http://www.google.com) will be the first search result. If I click on it, it will bring me straight to that page. This happens for any web page I type in. This is happening on both laptops I have connected to this router. I use my laptop at work and it works fine all day every day but as soon as I get home it starts doing this. It's driving me crazy and my wife keeps complaining about it but I've checked the internet settings on both of our laptops and have also checked the settings in the router but everything looks correct. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Ross, you may have a virus. Download malware (sp?) and run it. My desktop was doing something like that and I had a virus. I had let Norton expire for a month.

do a system restore to a week or two b4 you started having problems and download malwarebytes run it and see if that doesn't fix your problem.

Spybot Search and Destroy is a good one also

Ross, you may have a virus. Download malware (sp?) and run it. My desktop was doing something like that and I had a virus. I had let Norton expire for a month. I run my malware software (MalwareBytes) along with Spybot Search & Destroy once a week and run my virus scanner every day because so much stuff comes through my computer on a daily basis.

do a system restore to a week or two b4 you started having problems and download malwarebytes run it and see if that doesn't fix your problem. I'm trying to stay as far away from a system restore as possible because I am constantly putting new software on my computer for work and really don't feel like having to re-download all that crap if I don't absolutely have to

Spybot Search and Destroy is a good one also Yea, that's what I've been using for a couple years now.

I highly doubt that it is a virus because this only happens when I am connected wirelessly at my house. I wirelessly connect to the internet at work and everything works fine.

I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the wireless router since that's the only time I will have issues. Also, neither my Wii or my PS3 will connect to the wireless router so I'm thinking it has to be a setting in the router itself but I can't find what it is. I thought that maybe somebody would be pretty savvy in the router department and would know of a setting that would maybe cause something like this to happen.
