Mine is a WRT310N v2.0. My problem is that it will randomly go to a page that says MySpace in the upper right but the url in the bar says Facebook and I’m not trying to go to either, I’m just clicking on a random website like maybe from Digg or whatever. Sometimes it evens shows the page for second before redirecting. I did the Google DNS thing so we’ll see if there’s any change.

July 2010 and the problem is still going around.
Sometimes I can flush my DNS and it goes away. I have comcast btw – i changed my DNS to 4.2.2.2 and reregistered my DNS and Facebook opened.

Very odd

Just bookmarked this page. I have the same router on Roadrunner in socal and tried the manual DNS hard-code. Seems like its working but we’ll see.. this problem has been on and off for the past month.

That’s ridiculous. Same thing happened to me too, and I have a Linksys router. But it just happened, BOOM. Have had no problems for months. Argh.

I can get on with my iPod, though, but not my laptop.

I have the same problem.

I’ve got a Linksys WRT310N and I installed the firmware yesterday. I also talked to tech support at Linksys and this was supposed to fix this ongoing problem.

Well, just a few minutes ago the problem occurred again.

Not sure what to try next. Very frustrating situation.

I have got the same problem as Armin. On my MAC I can´t delete the the first DNS. Perhaps someone can give me a good tip?

Yeah I’ve been having the same problem too. I found that it might be a router problem, specifically the Lynksys WRT160N V3, which is what I have.

Go to http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/WRT160N-V3-has-serioius-DNS-issues/td-p/280327 Scroll down about 80% of the way and there’s a post by wbundrick that begins with “follow up:” you can try following the steps he lists there. It worked for me.

Good luck guys!
