Re: SPI firewall?
Hey Mboy can you test them for me.
Turn NAT off and see if the clients are still protected by the firewall. That is a better test than reading the marketing crap.
THe ZyXEL home routers P334W for example has an SPI firewall and the firewall does remain protecting when NAT is turned off. The buffalo makes good wifi but their core router features are nothing special, you would be better off to go with another router that does have SPI the
linksys wrt54GS.
MG, the P334W has a 225MIPS 175MHZ engine and IM sure the wrt54GS has the same or slightly higher guts, so I think your specs pertain to the wrt54G only. In any case from my knowledge yes, a working SPI firewall.
The test is throughput, both the P334W and Linksys wrt54GS have gobs of throughput with firewall turned off, easily 25Mbps plus............ With the firewall activated this drops to around 8Mbps. (price to pay for higher level packet inspection.)
