Firewall Off

Can I ask you experts, what wireless routers are there that let you turn off the firewall?

My D-Link DI-614+ router can disable the firewall - possibly all D-Links?

How fortuitous. Close! Cause I have a Dlink DI-624.

Have not been able to disable the firewall. What menu on yours lets you do this?

And did you type, or just click on an item?

Advanced - Firewall - at the top is the Enable  Disable bullets.  Page 79 of the manual.

This page you refer to describes setting specific additional firewall rules. My question is not how to add an additional rule to block certain access types. My question is how to turn off the firewall entirely.

I used the disable tab on that page ( well, the corresponding almost identical page on my 614+) with success.

Jodpur,

You can also use the DMZ feature of the DI-614+ to disable the firewall for a specific IP address on the LAN.

I see basically the identical menu on like page 26 of your 614 manual.

The disable tab is only for a selected item on the list, what ever is selected (which is not too clear). If you simply click it, this adds a bullet, and this has no effect. Just look at the heading at the top of the screen. It is:
Firewall Rules

DMZ does not refer to turning off the firewall. Firewall remains

jodpur,

I understand that the DMZ does not refer to the firewall.  However, it will allow a single computer to bypass the firewall.  The DI-614+ will not allow you to disable the internal firewall http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1329&question=General%20Routers however, you can create rules that will allow specific addresses or range of addresses to pass throught.

NAT and firewall properties are two different things.
