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.




Cheers for this m8!!! I’d tried every other fix that can be found on the web but this sorted straight away.
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?
