Hi everyone
I keep getting a weird notification from my internet security antivirus which shows this address: Https://translate.goo has been blocked over and over again exactly at the moment I switch on my router
I am dropping the screenshot here:

I've searched about this IP on Google but couldn't find anything.

There's also another weird thing about it, I wanted to change my router's main password but it says your current password is wrong, I'm so sure I entered the password true and exactly the same(there are default passwords under my router)and I rebooted and also reset my router multiple times but still, I couldn't change my password for the same problem, every time it said the current password s wrong.
I should mention I can enter the router setting page easily with the default ID & password so I'm sure those keywords under my router are correct!

which is getting weirder because I keep getting another notification from my antivirus that says there's an attempt to attack/poison my device or sometimes it says "Duplicate IP address on the network" every time I set my router on!!

that's why I've been trying to change my password and reset the router from my router profile but I couldn't 🙁

what should I do?!
is this really an attempt to hack? Is my router being hacked? this is my router's default IP so it's weird.

192.168.1.1 is a commonly used router IP address. (Including my own Linksys router.)

Make and model modem, router, or modem/router if combined?

How are you rebooting/resetting the router?

= = = =

Run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt.

Copy and paste the full results into your next post.

I ran tracert to that blocked URL

Do you recognize that .com name in any manner?
