Convert from years with Netgear. The router seems to be working fine, but the documentation (or lack thereof) is miserable. A couple of questions for the experts.
Is "b/g Protection" required if any "g" clients are present or only if there are issues? What is recommended? I have a PS3 and XBOX which connect with "g" but the rest of my clients on 2.4 will be "n" capable, and there are no "b" clients at all.
Does WPA-Auto-Personal simply allow for both AES and TKIP? My guess is that with it enabled, all clients are limited to "g" speeds at 54 mbps, correct? Does that setting have any impact on the previously mentioned "b/g Protection" setting?
Lastly, under the firewall settings, "DoS Protection" is disabled by default in the latest firmware. I have enabled it, but wanted to be sure there isn't some reason for keeping it disabled. Any performance or other considerations? Why wouldn't it be enabled by default?
Thanks for your help.
