Anyone have any idea on how to why i would be getting popups on my home wifi (and only wifi)?

What I'm seeing is, on my phone and tablets...when I am on 4G, they work great, but the minute I jump on my wifi connection, I started getting nailed with popups every other click on my web browsing. Thoughts?

I don't think I notice it on my wired connections, but my popup blockers on my computers may just be doing a good job of keeping them out (I guess).

Any help is appreciated. I tried changing my wifi and router password and still no change.

I think I got it. Was using Comcast DNS. Once I switched to Google, popups went away (so far).

Glad you solve it.

Just a side remark.

Wireless is just a substitute to an Ethernet cable, its security (password) is to insure that other people can not connect your Network and use your Connection .

It is nothing to do with your security on the Internet, PopUps, Spam, and the like.
