home networking issue - can't redirect wifi sites to website

my flag

First, I am an amateur when it comes to networking/routing. I have an Internet-accessible website on a home computer that I use to test html/javascript/etc. I have a domain name and a static IP from my ISP. The network is currently set up like this:

Smart/RG SR400ac - this is the router/modem and connects to the outside Internet. The only device plugged into it with an ethernet cable is a Netgear R6900P router.

The Smart/RG uses 192.168.x.x, and the R6900P uses 10.0.x.x for internal addresses.

The Smart/RG forwards port 80 to the R6900P, which then forwards port 80 to the webserver. The webserver is plugged into the R6900P with an ethernet cable.

Both the Smart/RG and the R6900P have wifi.

If I try to access the website by domain name from outside of this network (public wifi, a wired computer at someone else's house, etc.) I can get to it with no issues.

If I try to access the website from ethernet-connected devices that are plugged into the R6900P, they can connect with no issues.

However, if I try to connect to the website using the wifi on either the Smart/RG or the R6900P using either the domain name or the IP address, it tries to log me in to the Smart/RG router's login page.

I can't figure out why I get the router's login page - if it's a setting on the Smart/RG, the R6900P, or the apache configuration on the webserver. Maybe it's some kind of race condition?

I realize this is a lot of information. Please ask any questions you have!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
