Update:
problem was never solved. i ended up upgrading to cisco’s flagship router which ended up being actually a bigger piece of junk, but oh wow solved the whole facebook problem.

i am only writing here now to inform people of my happy happy happy happy happy happy happy purchase of my apple router. i’ve had for a few months and have NEVER been happier with a routers EVERYTHING. they even cure you of having to deal with that stupid stupid 192.168.1.1 CRAP!!!!!! it deals directly with your computer like it should!!!

DONE WITH CISCO

Forgot to add: The problem still exists even though I’m using Google DNS.

Linksys can go to hell.

The firmware upgrade Bill mentions in his post of Jan 5 does not fix the redirect problem.

I hope there’s a big, fat class-action lawsuit against Linksys soon. Their handling of this issue is contemptible.

Thank you SO much! I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent doing virus scans, convinced that I was infected. In the end, I just gave up and lived with the annoyance. I happened across this article just now, went to check my router, and what do you know, it’s a WRT160Nv3! It’s owned by the landlord, but at least now I know it’s not my computer that’s the problem, and can tell them how to fix it!

For users of Cisco WRT160Nv3, the fix is to upgrade the firmware to 3.03

prenciss lady enn – The answer to your question is in the very top of the article. See the tinted red box right under the title on the page? It says to use Google DNS or OpenDNS on your computer (depending on your PC, you set this somewhere in “Network Preferences”).

In fact this is good advice on any PC, laptop or mobile device — ditch the DNS servers provided with your connection, and use Google DNS. It’s way faster, safer, and more reliable.

NOTE: You probably can not use Google DNS or OpenDNS inside of mainland China, because of that totalitarian government running their “Great Firewall” DNS filter (which you can get around using a HK proxy, but that’s another story..)
