| Re: Pre-N and VOIP woes Here is what I can tell about the firewall part of the router:
1) It prevents DOS, SYN, UDP, etc.. floods and attacks. That is pretty cool, except it is screwing up VOIP. Ironic that this router has a QOS setting that smooths out VOIP yet the SPI firewall kills it almost completely.
2) The NAT functions on the router are protecting it as well as just about any other run of the mill router out there, even with the firewall off.
3) As far as I can tell, v2 of the router adds the firewall and v1 did not have it at all. So it is no more insecure as running the original v1 (which I have as well).
Bottom line, I am just as protected as I was before I bought the v2 to replace my broken v1, so I am happy. Although I will really love it if and when they fix the firewall for VOIP. |
