FIX: Issue with MSN Windows Messenger and Netgear DG834G Router

I had problems with MSN Messenger disconnecting or failing to connect when using a Netgear DG834G Router.  Updating to the latest firmware on the router didn’t help but it turns out that updating to an earlier version did.

If anyone else has the same problem then try ‘upgrading’ the router firmware to version Version V3.01.25. This fixed it for me.

    Hi, i’ve also follow your instruct, however my router would not allow me to upgrade to the firm ware version u’ve recommend.

    it displays the message of “error” etc…

    anymore tips?

    could it be my router the version 4 of DG834G?
