Re: SpeedStream 5200 hijacking incoming http connections?
I will repeat that you are less secure and I mean in the 5200 itself (open to reconfiguration/take over using CSRF Attacks and other exploits that attack unsecured/insecure Router/Modem configurations) since the 5200 still has a Web Interface with both WAN and LAN side active plus being DMZ'd to the Wireless Netgear Router. The Netgear Router is likely secure and the PCs on the LAN would be taken care of by the Netgear, so that leaves the 5200 that should really be Bridged so you don't have insecure DMZ running and don't have Doubled NAT/NAPT translation being performed on each packet in and out of your LAN. Networks should always be built under the KISS principle.
