Hacked R6700 Out of the Box? Amz NEW?? Router has parameters in the URL being generated by????

Hi, 

 

Can someone tell me if my router's firmware has been hacked or something? All URL I input are re-routed or changed with additional characters concatenated at the end by something? Was something pre-installed on my R6700? The admin screen etc all contain a question mark (?/y7bRbp)  and random characters such as:  http://192.168.1.1/start.htm?y7bRbp=rE0lKjkYVz2noo4WpanPiULEzRW5RwnoXmEaQAI.
