My Internet/IP is somehow set to a different location?

So.. few weeks ago I noticed my Google and YouTube changed to Google Singapore and YouTube Singapore. At first I didn't really care, I thought it was just Google glitching out or something.

But then what really bothered me is when I wanted to watch a channel on YouTube that I usually watch suddenly saying "The uploader has not made this video available in your country." Which I thought, oh the uploader doesn't let people in the US watch this anymore. But.. that's not the case, my friend linked me this same channel's video and she can watch the video.. but I can't.

So it got me thinking.. something must be up.. i tried to turn off my modem, unplugging the power and the head phone jack. Still the same.

I can confirm it really is my internet when my phone is connected to 4G, I can watch the video but when connected to my WiFi i can't.

Can anyone help me out with this? Thank You.

Yes, there is a router connected to the Modem. I'm currently using CenturyLink.

I checked that website and few other website. My IP says I'm in the United States.

Hmm.. that's a possibility. Though It's affecting all other devices, my phone, my sis' laptop, my mom's PC. Their Google/YouTube changed to Singapore as well.

But I will do as you say. I'm currently running Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and I will run AVG after.

If knowing how to set the router, then I suggest resetting the router too, then changing the user and password for logging in, setting the Internet connection and Wireless network - use different SSID and key.
