Disable spi?

[Denningsrogue]

I have an Engenious ESR9850 with the radio turned off acting as my router and a Netgear WNDR3700 set up as an AP. My questions are

1. Should I disable SPI on the WNDR3700?
2. Would disabling SPI increase throughput speed?

Thanks.

If the Netgear is setup as an AP...meaning uplinked via a LAN port, not the WAN port, any "firewall features" will not come into play, because traffic is not passing through the router component (WAN <==>LAN), it's not doing any routing of the traffic. It will not pass through NAT, QoS, SPI, any of the normal router/gateway features. You can leave it enabled or disable it, but it won't matter. Traffic is only passing across the LAN part of things.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you.
