Router chart Question ?

[Blexley]

I just noticed that the routers are tested set too DMZ and with the IPSEC turned off so does that mean the Trendnet TEW-633GR that i've just ordered will give me alot less Wan to Lan throughput than the 230mb stated when used as a normal router with the firewall active ?

ifso i'm gutted as that would mean the router maybe no good for my 50mb cable internet or when they upgrade too 100mb next year. :( as the lynksys rvs4000 for example is next too useles in realworld use.

Putting the test client in DMZ has no effect on throughput. I do not disable IPsec when testing. I sometimes disable SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). Most routers (the TEW-633GR included) do not have noticeably different throughput when SPI is enabled/disabled. If they do, it is noted in the review, as was the Linksys RVS4000.

Oooooops :D

I mixed up IPsec with SPI and totally misread how routers are tested.

Thanks for explaining and clearing that up :)
