Help Anconnectivitycheck.gstatic.com taking over my devices

As of 2 days ago all of a sudden I can not connect to my home wireless server with my android devices. My laptops do not have this issue; and it only started about 2 days ago. When I try to connect to my wireless server with my several android devices (and this also happens to my friends when they come) we get a rerouting saying you have to sign into my network (which we do) but the internet goes to a connectivitycheck.gstatic.com page that says "updating" but after literally 12 hours nothing happens. I try to use apps and other connection points they all say I don't have internet access.

I have reset the wireless adaptors and modem without solution.

For example; I go to dogpile.com (my favorite search engine) and it now has dogpile.com/security-up---- whether si or espn or any other website same thing. Nothing but a robot with updating. Then the wireless is connection shows that no internet.
 
Do you have an ISP-provided modem/router or do you have your own wireless router? Just recently there's been a pretty nasty consumer router exploit floating around the 'Net.

If restarting hasn't solved the problem, it might be time to do a hard reset on your router. This will wipe all settings you've previously changed to it and return everything to the factory defaults so you'll need to reconfigure it accordingly.
I also recommend this installing this 'RouterCheck' app and scan your home network. It checks out basic security settings you should pay attention to. The user interface might not be the most polished but it includes some really good, thorough documentation on basic terminology and background info.

That's a common issue but this method can be a quick fix.
On your mobile device go into Wi-Fi settings and remove all Wi-Fi information that was connected to your mobile device thats connected to your router. ( As Forgot). Reboot your mobile device and re- enter the information that's connected to that Wi-Fi router. This should fix that dropped connections issue.

Thank you for quick reply: The modem is supplied by the Link3 company here in Bangladesh. I have my own wireless router (??) hooked up to that. My laptops don't appear to be affected, just all android devices. I just tried the person's advice below about erasing and rebooting. That did noti fix the error at all. Frankly, i am not very good at routers and such, i set up the wireless router 5 years ago, so restoring is going to take some thinking as i don't have the box/instructions-- but i can get from the web. My internet out here is my life-- and always afraid to mess with router too much or i might loose everything. I will try that later on and let everyone know what happened. The other person said this is common-- but it is a first for me. Again, I appreciate the help.
 
I thought I had it fixed by factory reboot but 5 hours later after working all night what I feared would happen happened and after I factory rebooted I lost all internet connection including my laptops .after resetting rebooting and everything else I get dns error .

So no internet except off my phone until I can get someone over here or magic happen s .I wish I knew who or what caused the original problem. Goodnight at 245 am
