I have been using Routers for almost a decade. First on Comcast cable using a BEFSR41 v1
Router and now with Verizon DSL and a Linksys BEFSR81 v2 Router. The configuration is
*very* static. I also have uPnP enabled for uPnP compliant software.

I don't understand why you think "...if you change applications all the time" it would
affect the Router. It doesn't.

Additionally I block TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on my Router and that makes me
quite safe against NetBIOS pop-ups, hackers and Internet worms such as; Sasser, BugBear,
SDBot, Lovsan/Blaster, etc.
