Q: Has anyone experienced this? Netgear WGR614 My v3 is dropping my internet connection, and the only explanation I can think of is that some sort of conflict with ZoneAlarm have.
I the latest firmware for the router.
Is really no point for me when I ZoneAlarm router? I think “no” even though all the routers have their security holes.
Best Answer: You could setup the dns server manually, or run the second router in bridge mode. Manually entering the ip range and dns server will create a static ip and therefore the router that is actually getting the internet connection will use those settings to connect the second router to it. If you use it in bridge mode it won't need to assign any ips or use a dns server as it will simply pass the connection along to whatever is connected to it. Of course the simpler solution is to get rid of the second router as it seems a might bit of overkill if you already have a router that's connected and working. Whether its wired or wireless they all have "extra" connections you can use, most have 4 ethernet connections and wireless capabilities…so you don't need the second router.
DNS is Domain Name Server and is required to resolve ip address to names…..for instance, if you type www.yahoo.com the DNS takes the letters and converts them to an ip then connects you to the page….you could type the ip address directly and get to the same page but as soon as you click a link it reverts to the name of the page rather than the ip.

Are you on Comcast cable by any chance? I am, and the service has been horrible for the last 4 weeks or so with flaky connections and 1000 ping jumps in games.
No, I'm on rcn
service sucked balls when I signed up in 2002 but has been solid all through 2003-4.

Re:I have a linksys router and I also had a problem with zonealarm and my router. They both work great by themselves but when i installed zonealarm i had problems connecting to the internet and other computers on the network. I ended up uninstalling zonealarm cuz i couldnt figure it out
Re:Wireless connectivity between the router and my 2 laptops has been perfect.
Its the hard-wired connection between my gaming box and the internet (via the router) that's been dropping

Update: deactivating zonealarm did not fix the problem.
I still get periodic disconnects.
Can someone list a few probable causes so I can do some troubleshooting? I'm new to networking and this is my first router.
I get that problem sometimes too, but I have the DLINK router. How's your signal strength? Mines anywhere from 3 to 4 bars.

Re:I don't know if the NetGear router have firewall integrated in it like with Linksys router but if so, you should uninstall ZoneAlarm.
