Folks, I am not sure where to post this help request, since this is a gaming issue for me, I'll post here.
I have a DL-524 wireless router and I have my desktop plugged directly into it.  I play Guild Wars quite often and anyone who plays that game knows what err-7 is, you basically get kicked from the game, this can be highly annoying when in the middle of missions/pvp etc.  Now I have fixed this issue before, but my ISP was giving me grief and I did a hard reset on the router, now I have the same issue.  What I thought I did was go into the firewall tab under advanced and what I think I need to do is allow traffic through port 6112 for WAN and LAN, WAN IP range being 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.100  This hasn't worked for me and I'm frustrated.  Basically the internet 'stalls' on me for about 30 seconds, this includes my MSN messenger resetting and all internet activity is stopped.. it interupts any game I play and it's a problem.  Can anybody help me with the best way to fix this?
This is what the firewall port trigger looks like:
Firewall Rules can be used to allow or deny traffic from passing through the DI-524.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Is this a DLink product? I see there isn't a forum for this..this an older product? What ISP service do you have, DSL or cable? If DSL, does the DSL modem have and internal router? If so, you need to have the ISP bridge this DSL modem so that the DL router is doing all the traffic and networking.

The DL-524 is a router introduced in 2004. Support for that router was discontinued in 2008. I recommend buying a new router.

If you really want to try using such an old router, first make sure you're on the latest firmware, which is 1.23. Secondly, to make sure it's really a router problem, try connecting your computer directly to your Cable/DSL modem and see if the problem goes away. Other things to look at are the ethernet cables (try swapping them out and checking for loose connections), making sure the DSL/Cable/Internet light on the Cable/DSL modem isn't going out, or actual problems with the computer.

Since you're getting disconnected and completely losing your internet connectivity, it's not a firewall issue. Hope that helps.
