Preface, when it comes to networking, in the grand scheme of things, I know next to nothing; when it comes to network security I know ABSOLUTELY nothing.
I just changed routers from a Linksys WRVS4400N (Version 1) to a WNDR4000 from NetGear.
The wireless throughput change is astronomical; (48mbits to 200mbits per sec). However, I do miss some of the firewall/security features of the WRVS4400N.

- Would it be possible to disable the DHCP and wireless antennas and use the WRVS4400N as strictly firewall?
- Is it even worthwhile to do so from a security standpoint?
- Would I see a decrease in either WAN or LAN throughput?
- Anything else I should know?
