Title: Router redirects some sites to http://www1.dlinksearch.com
Post by: wes420 on March 21, 2010, 04:55:24 AM

Ever since upgrading to firmware 1.33NA, when I try to access certain websites I am redirected to http://www1.dlinksearch.com. I cloned my PC's MAC address in the router, which solved the problem for about a month. Now the problem is back, I can't seem to access these sites, no matter what. Any ideas? Thanks

Have you checked the DNS settings your internet connection is using.
When using services like DynDNS they apply settings to the TCP/IP settings in your network card.

Maybe you are no longer using your ISP DNS settings but other that reroute.
Also check for these settings in the router.

Consider checking the state of SecureSpot and turn it off.  Also, if it is off, turn it on then off.

Hey guys, thanks for the help. I guess a few sites in my city from a certain internet provider are all down, and redirecting to that page. Hopefully they will fix the issue soon.

It sounds like you have advanced DNS service enabled. Disable it and it should give you the standard "no host here" error instead of a search page. (errors are far better than redirects without explanation)
