i am on a router, and through the router connected to the cable modem

in control-panel, network-conections..it always shows that stupid 'internet gateway' which i cant get rid of.

I also tried 'internet conection wizard' a few times (what do i have to chose ? The 'hub' option or the 'residential gateway' ? Anyway..no matter what i chose i always have that anoying 'internet gateway' there....

I dont use ICF (i use Kerio) or "connection sharing" or any of this stuff... does everyone have this stupid 'internet gateway' (internet connection) listed there ?

thanks !
 
You have a screenshot of your network connections page? You need a connection in there to get out on the net, maybe it labeled it internet gatway when you used the network wizard(I've never used it so not sure)
 
Does your router have UPnP enabled? You might try disabling it, and then rebooting your PC, and see if that "Internet Gateway" comes back or not. However, if you have multiple computers behind the router, and they all play online games, you might just want to leave UPnP enabled, and deal with that extra icon. It's not really hurting anything.

Man I HATE UPnP. I just finished a VPN client to work with MS's quarantine feature in RRAS and part of it's checks are to ensure all of the adapter's have windows firewall turned off (since we require a different one). The API's Windows provides for running through the list of adapters pukes if there is a UPnP (Internet Gateway) device in the list, at least it does for Linksys routers 😉
