1 edit | SPI and everything else I personally turned off EVERYTHING on that gateway the first day I got it. It's definitely horrid as a router, and meh as a modem. I have still been using it in this mode: no DHCP, no NAT, no firewall, no nothing, static address to my own router which handles all of those functions, and stuck it in the SMC's DMZ because with this I was having all kinds of problems with variable port forwarding assignments. I'm still a little suspicious of the SMC even as a plain jane modem, but it's been stable enough with all functions turned off and I've just been too busy to deal with a swap. The only oddity has been that traceroutes and pings from a LAN machine fail, but this hasn't impacted anything else yet.
Edit: The setting is under the Gateway tab, Firewall options: Disable Gateway Smart Packet Detection (check). |

Pottsville, PA | I have had no issues with the gateway. I turned off the DMZ though. I will be getting a new D3 modem Monday for when they activate my new speeds. |

| I've decided to keep the gateway, as much as it annoys me sometimes, just because of the remote login support options it affords to technical support as opposed to a standard bridging modem. |
