EX2700 and http://www.mywifiext.net/welcome.htm highjacking default homepage and tabs

I too had this annoying problem after installing the EX2700., Every time IE was opened, instead of displaying my home page (Google) it would attempt to login to the EX2700 management. If my laptop was not connected to the EX2700's Wi-Fi network, a page not found message would be displayed. If the laptop was connected to the EX2700's Wi-Fi network, the EX2700 management login screen would appear. Netgear Support was not able to come up with a solution and I couldn't find one on the web. I went to the trouble of setting up Firefox as an alternative browser and started using it. I then had one final try at fixing the IE problem, and lo and behold happened upon the solution. I clicked the arrow next to the Home icon on the IE Command Bar, clicked Remove, clicked on http://www.google.com.au and thus removed it. I then went into Tools\Internet Options and re-entered www.google.com.au and hey presto, the problem was fixed.
