Super Confused Need Help on a Network Problem

[Zycorpse]

So not even sure how to ask or explain it so ill say everything

last night i woke up around 10pm and the day before was splendid everything working fine
well when i woke up i decided to play some games and such, finally i decide to web browse and enjoy memes and such but every time i do click on any website like facebook, sometimes google, almost any site doesnt seem to have a pattern these things happen

- redirects me to a security check from google i just clicked out of it usually, but it comes right back and its facebook so i click im not a robot, go through a captcha process everything is hunky dory later it happens again, and again... and again. :| now its getting on my nerves at the bottom of this security thing it suggests 3 options run an antivirus, and malware checker, to prevent seeing this page, it also suggests me to if not on home network tell someone higher up to scan the whole everything is how i took it, it also suggest an extension to bypass it, well its obviously a problem i do not want to just sweep it under the rug i might trip over the bump later

so i scan my computer have done so 3 - 4 times now nothing shows up cleared registries and cookies ect, so it didnt take the cake i checked my roommates seeing what their up to see if they are using a program of any sort because looking into it vpns can cause this only one of them are even home and her stuff isnt even on

so now im getting worried whats happening i check my router logs
heres what i find
-one iphone spamming the router with a DHCP IP (dont think this is the problem i can disable it and check but i doubt it)
-heres the creepy bit
-a mass occurrence of Wlan Access rejection, due to incorrect security this is not by one device tho ive written down the mac address attempting connection so far i have 3 and most of the tries are attempts with the spam of 3 seconds and some with 10 seconds apart
so it doesnt stop there
- ive also was wondering where my device is on the attached devices because im seeing if these failed attempts succeeded yet or if theres any new devices i dont recognize
-nope but i dont see mine, well i thought i didnt my computer name and connected ip doesnt exist on it but my mac address does i personally assigned my ip so i could recognize it and sure i thought maybe i was mistaken and then i checked with cmd it hasnt changed nothing has but i barely exist on it so to speak

ive also noticed other things like, when i open teamspeak it tells me i cant connect to its services, but when i go to join something i can connect :/ what?

and other things weird like when browsing memes my whole tab starts glitching black and weird but that hasnt happened more than once i think it was do to my ram getting overloaded i forgot to turn of my game i think it had a ram leak or something hasnt happened since so i have no idea whats going on or what i should do to fix it

at this point should i reboot? is it safe to do so not sure if its a dumb question but if my ip isnt assigned to me then is it assigned to another dont know the odds not (IP but the router ip 192 one)
should i change my router ip? and mac address?
should i not be worrying at all?
what risks and probabilities are even this?
and most of all is there a fix its not just my computer its other devices i own

Since your question has multiple parts, I will attempt to answer each part individually.

Any time you get a "security alert" from Google, Facebook, or any other site, it is simply a piece of malware attempting to gain access to your device. Not only should you ignore it and close whatever tab is opening that message, but you should NEVER click on anything it asks you to do (scanning, installing software, etc.).

so i scan my computer have done so 3 - 4 times now nothing shows up cleared registries and cookies ect, so it didnt take the cake i checked my roommates seeing what their up to see if they are using a program of any sort because looking into it vpns can cause this only one of them are even home and her stuff isnt even on

Most likely, a piece of malware was downloaded and installed onto your computer by this "scan" that the website performed. I would recommend downloading and running a program called MalwareBytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com]https://www.malwarebytes.com). Have it scan your system and allow it to remove any bad things it may find. You should also update and perform a full system scan with your Antivirus software so it can possibly catch whatever Malwarebytes doesn't catch (if you don't have an antivirus software, I would strongly recommend that you get one).

so now im getting worried whats happening i check my router logs

This almost 100% confirms that you have been infected with something.

and other things weird like when browsing memes my whole tab starts glitching black and weird but that hasnt happened more than once i think it was do to my ram getting overloaded i forgot to turn of my game i think it had a ram leak or something hasnt happened since so i have no idea whats going on or what i should do to fix it

You can run a program called "MemTest86" ( https://www.memtest86.com/ that will test your RAM to make sure it is operating properly.I would suggest downloading and running this program if you are concerned about your RAM.

at this point should i reboot? is it safe to do so

It is never a bad idea to reboot your PC, as long as you are restarting from within Windows and not just pulling the plug out. Rebooting your router won't hurt anything either assuming you are simply unplugging it, waiting a few seconds (10-15 seconds is typically the recommended wait period) then plugging it back in. Neither one of those things will hurt anything and is entirely safe.

not sure if its a dumb question

No such thing

but if my ip isnt assigned to me then is it assigned to another dont know the odds not (IP but the router ip 192 one)

IP addresses being used by devices connected to the router are typically "released" after about 24 hours, and they are assigned new ones. It is entirely possible that another device on your network received the IP that your computer was being assigned previously (the only way this doesn't happen is if you use static IPs which is another discussion entirely).

should i change my router ip? and mac address?

Changing any settings within the router is never a good idea unless you know exactly what you are doing. Changing the IP of the router isn't as simple as it seems since it would require a lot of other work on the network that requires a lot of knowledge and experience. Not recommended at all. As for the MAC address, MAC addresses are assigned by the manufacturer and typically cannot be changed.

should i not be worrying at all?
what risks and probabilities are even this?
and most of all is there a fix its not just my computer its other devices i own

You should very much be worried about this, as it sounds like you have an infected device that is causing issues with other devices on the network. I would strongly suggest you download MalwareBytes and have both it and your AntiVirus do a full system scan to find any malware that may be on your machine. Worst case scenario, you may be forced to roll-back Windows to a time before the infection took place (assuming you have backups or Windows created a system restore point). Hope this helps!

So I fixed it, and by the way u typed ur solution u assumed I was unable to do things and or didn't know what I was doing, and didn't read the question I posted how it was written, I did run malwarebytes, I did run a full scan on my pc with my antivirus, I did click off the page, the source of the page is from Google I did msg them first b4 clicking on it it's not malware on that page it's a request from Google asking me to verify I'm not a robot since something is spamming their servers from my side either malware or VPN ect. I scanned pc I've also restarted it the fix I got, was changing the ip and Mac there's a setting to use "xxx" Mac instead of current, and I also changed my dns settings from komodo to open dns and locked up some things, I then gave out the password to the people who are suppose to have it, since then the problem is gone and has not recovered, the issue wasn't my side it was someone else's computer whose remains the question, we also changed the ssid since multiple devices the day of the problem escalated to 20 things trying to connect with false security key b4 the ip and password change still don't know what that was about but they haven't decided to try to connect so that's good.
