Title: PSA - FRITZ!Box: Entering the URL fritz.box redirects to an external page

QuoteProblem for users of an AVM FRITZ!Box family broadband routers who try to access the router's administration interface from the home network. However, when entering the URL fritz.box, users do not end up on the routers firmware FRITZ!Box login page, but are redirected to an external website. Two users have pointed out the problem to me, with one user suspecting a hack. The cause is a combination of two circumstances that provoke this behavior. Someone has registered a domain fritz.box and DNS servers from Google then resolve to this page. The remedy is to enter the IP address of the FRITZ!Box or to use a different DNS server.
