A few weeks ago, at a friends, I connected to an ASUS router(RT-N12D1) on IP 192.168.1.1 and now no matter where I am whenever I browse to 192.168.1.1I am redirected to a page that is show in the attached file even though I am NOT trying to connect to the RT-N12D1. I am trying to connect hardwired to a Ubiquiti device with the IP address or 192.168.1.1(default) and my system is set to a static IP of 192.168.1.5. I have cleared all history and cookies, rebooted the system and uninstalled / reinstalled FireFox with the same result.

Any additional recommendations will be appreciated.

Regards

The problem was solved by going to Open Menu>Options>Advanced Offline Web Content and Web Data . It had 192.168.1.1 listed so I cleared it and now its working.

This means that when Firefox was uninstalled it did not clear all of it's settings as i would expect.
