Constant popup "join Wifi-network"

I suddenly am interrupted every five minutes by a popup that says on the window frame "join (name of wifi network here)".


In the window is the message


"<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Success</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>Success</BODY></HTML>"


What is wrong with my wifi network that I get this?


How can I make it go away?


Thanks!

In the bottom of the frame I can see this: apple.com/library/test/success.html

Same problem here with OSX 10.9.5 since this morning. I do not have an airport, just another brand of a wireless router. Apple does not seem to have deleted this file on their site, but maybe permissions or something else changed?


Since no one did any update and a lot of people are getting this now, I would suspect it to be a fault at Apple's end. Too bad we all have interference because of this... Very annoying this popup is coming back every 5 minutes.

Same here in Barcelona, Spain. Last night everything working fine, this morning the popup sows up every 5 minutes and I lose connection. I'm on a 11-inch MacBook Air Mid 2013. No Airport Station, but a Linksys WRT-1900ac and on a 5Ghz network. Restarting and erasing internet locations didn't solve the issue...

I will try later on with a 13-inch Retina Macbook Pro and post results. This is really weird.
