Suspicious SSL certificate

I have a Lenovo E330 laptop running Ubuntu 14.04. Sometimes the certificate in this picture:

Prompts me when I start up the computer, and I find it looks quite suspicious.

Can anybody tell me why it's prompting me for accepting this SSL certificate and if there is a way to stop it. Please let me know if you need more information.

Check your router's configuration.

I recently changed ISP and the router from the new ISP has "Daniel's" SSL certificate for the router's HTTPS management web page. This router is a Zyxel VMG1312; I don't know which other makes/models of routers have been blessed with "Daniel's" self-signed certificates.

I also can't explain why Daniel thinks California is in Ukraine (UA) instead of America (US). Possibly a typo, since "a" is next to "s" on many keyboards.

Elsewhere in the router's admin pages is an option to install my own SSL certificates; I may investigate that later on.
