ZA is not part of the router's software that makes the router work is it?

If ZA is not part of the router's software and ZA is running on the
computer with the Windows O/S then how is the problem you're having be
related? ZA has nothing to do with the operations of the router just like
the Windows O/S has nothing to do with the control or operations of the
router. The router has its own software that makes it operate and it's
independent of whatever ZA is doing.

I don't know what your problems are but I doubt that it's a router ZA
issue/conflict.
