Just curious. How does Asus firmware force a browser window to open?

When you plug in an ethernet cable a browser window/tab will automatically open up and request a login to the router. How does this happen?
 
OK, that makes more sense. When you update the firmware the already open web page will wait for a while and then refresh itself. If the router doesn't have a connection to the internet it will display that error message.

If you want to disable this behaviour and just have the browser return the normal "not found" or "unable to connect" error messages log into the router and go to Administration > System. Turn off "Enable WAN down browser redirect notice".
