I have a Netgear MR314 router. On the shields up test it fails showing five
ports blocked and the ret sheathed. Using Zone 4.5 with the exact same
settings that I used the first time except for no router and a direct
connection the ports pass with flying colors- all sheathed. I gather the
test in the first scenario was testing the routerand not the computer ports.
Is this true, and what significance if any are the differing results? Is it
a case of paranoia or is of significance?
