I have to disable firewall to be able to connect to the internet, then enable it

[ShadowReturns]

Hey,

So I'm using an ADSL connection, I have a TP-link router td-w8951nd, now without disabling my firewall I see that I am connected to the router but not the internet (yellow triangle) and i have to disable my firewall (windows) wait a few seconds then I am connected to the internet, then i enable my firewall and all is dandy, but it is really annoying to disable, enable my firewall every time i unplug my router (to clean the room and stuff).

Now I know it's have to be with my firewall settings or something because my laptop can connect instantly, like it should.

I thought I should check out some firewall settings but when i saw the outbound/inbound connections types I got lost.

Can anyone tell me give me any tips?

Thanks.

What Firewall?

uh the normal windows firewall ?

In my Op i said it was windows firewall.

Windows firewall won't stop your internet working. Unless there's a sinister connection.

that's weird, but the i have to disable the firewall connect :| i can enable it after it's been connected.

Try another router.

try other firewall like kaspersky internet security

I think i should mention that once i am connected it stays connected, like if i restart my computer it would automatically connect, this problem seems to happen when i power off and on my router.

Can't be a router fault, because i don't have this problem when i connect my laptop via Ethernet cable.

Don't i have to pay for an anti virus firewall of any kind? Don't have cash to throw on 'experiments' :|
