Netgear Wireless

[Rebellion88]

Hello,

Over the last few days I've had a few problems with my wireless netgear router/modem. On the internet on half the websites i visit i get server not found in like a 404 error. I mainly use Firefox but it also does it on IE7 too, I also re-installed the netgear hardware again, and changed passwords etc. Still no luck, same problems even common websites like google/yahoo/ and plenty of google searches will just display server not found. Could this be caused by the router firewall? Can viruses infect a routers firmware? Any help will be most helpful!

Thanks John I'm grateful for all the help!

Just a side note, I use Zone alarm and has never caused any problems, this problem has lasted about a week now. Done virus checks in safe mode nothing with AVG the only this that I noticed with when scanning is there is an error in the boot sector, although no threats found. Scanned also with Spybot search and destory and Ad-Aware 2007.
