Getting to Know the BEFW11S4 v2

I’ve been having problems with my Linksys BEFW11S4 Router crashing my Internet connection while streaming audio in Windows Media Player. This drove me nuts since I use it to follow hockey online. After trying to get help from Linksys with their utterly useless chat help… Hello? Hello? Anyone home?!! … I found (what seems to be) a solution myself online.

The link. What it says to do:
If this is the case, go to options on the media player, select the network settings, uncheck EVERYTHING but HTTP, and make sure you also select ‘Don’t use a proxy, then click apply.’
