browser - Weird redirects

We are getting a weird redirct from black-face.com (which I needed for a school assignment) to some other pages always flashing through zeroredirct1 (dot) com. On other computers, it happens for other sites too.


Our network runs from a netgear r7000


It is happening on



  • Android 5.1 Nexus 6 on both data and our WiFi network

  • OSx El Capitan on our WiFi network

  • iOS iPad 9.1 on our WiFi network

  • Windows 10 on our WiFi Network


Deleting caches and cookies seems to only be a temporary fix as it comes back within about a day. We tried changing the DNS on our router to Google's public DNS. This may have solved it, at least temporarily, as for right now, it is going to the correct site but not sure how we get rid of it entirely.


It has not changed our default homepage. I don't think it is rooted in an extension (although it may be) because it is also happening on mobile devices which don't support them. All firmware and OS software are up to date.


Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
