Newegg

[JoeW]

Back around Christmas I received a Kindle Fire for Christmas. My router was not Wi Fi so I had to go buy another one. I had noticed that Office Max in Sebring had a sale on and had a D-Link router that was about in the price range I could afford. I did a search for that router to see what the specs were and some how I managed to place a re-direct on the Newegg site. I can't go there any more. I can't type the url in the header of Firefox and go there, it redirects me to dlinksearch and no amount of choosing the newegg site from the results will take me to newegg. I have blown the cashe, deleted the history. Deleted the link in my Favorites, ran regedit and searched for dlinksearch.com with no results. Same for newegg.com. I even ran C-Cleaner and I still get redirected. How does one stop a redirect? Any help at all would be appreacheated.

I would take the Dlink router off and put the other router back on. The Netgear Router I gave you was a WiFi router I just turned WiFi off on it because you were not using anything WiFi.

Once you put the Netgear router back test see if you can get to Newegg. If you can then all you need to do is turn on the WiFi in the Netgear router. It will also need to be set up correctly. Its not a good idea to have WiFi on unrestricted especially in a highly populated community like you live in.

Turn off "Advanced DNS Service" in the routers settings.

I can't help you with the problem you asked help with, but I can make a recommendation. DangerousDave stated that he gave you a Net Gear router...use it. Dump the D-Link one. I have had nothing but trouble with the D-Link routers I have tried to set up for folks. I have always had them return them and get either Net Gear or Linksys routers. D-Link routers are cheaper than Net Gear and Linksys, but the old adage about getting what you pay for is especially true with D-Link routers. Total garbage.

How do I access the router settings? This is for the PC.
The D-Link came with a disk that set everything up. It asked some questions and It did the settings.

Try typing 192.168.0.1 into the address bar. I've been running a D-link DIR-825 dual band wireless N router for ~18 months without issue.

I don't know what router type yours is, but all Netgear routers use IE to access the router settings. You need to connect your computer to the router with an ethernet cable, and then type either http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 . It will ask you for a password. That will depend on the kind of router you have. I would try Admin for login and then 1234 for the password (that is the most common ones for Netgear, it WILL NOT work without the ethernet cable hooked up however).. Then you will be in the settings. From there you just follow the menu's. Netgears site is awesome for this stuff, but there should be a simple button to turn the wifi back on. If you tell me what model number it is I can give you specialized help and walk you through it. I know the first few times I did this stuff it was complicated, but now I have my whole home network set up and it is a piece of cake.
