Another way of asking this might be whether SPI can be enabled/disabled separately at all or just with the entire firewall.
To me, it almost looks as if the term Firewall is used here first to refer to the four functions: Enable SPI, Enable DoS protection, Logged packet type and Respond Ping Request from WAN plus the features on the other tabs: URL filtering, Keyword filtering and Network Services filtering and and then to refer to SPI alone, i.e., that Enable SPI has been mislabeled Enable Firewall.
Have I got it all wrong?
and in the router's web interface, under Firewall | General, I seeFirewall: SPI intrusion detection, DoS protection
Since I see no other place where I can enable/disable SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection), I wonder whether the Firewall mentioned here is the SPI, includes it, or does not include it.Firewall: Yes/No
Enable DoS protection: Yes/No
Logged packet types: select
Respond Ping Request from WAN: Yes/No
