Hello,
I have employed this router for 6 years. Its firmware upgrade is 146.2.
The changes I have made to the settings:
In the past - To the Password and under Forwarding Port113St...
Yesterday, in response to reading this post, here
(see gif for indication of which post) and I quote part of it:
I believe I detect a slowing down of the system's response and in order to check that I attempted and failed to Disable the NAT.
Questions:
Why is this setting irreversible (as I have read in this forum)?
Would changing the firmware update to the original have any bearing in changing that setting?
Why doesn't it change when the 'restore defaults' procedure is used?
Is it possible that the enabling of NAT may have degraded my OS response time?
Thanks.
Ben.

I enabled NAT (under Filters).I have no knowledge of how you connect to the internet but if using ADSL or cable the very first thing I would do would be to use a router even if only using a single PC. Enable NAT (Network Address Translation) on the router and this will provide a very effective firewall, so good in fact that this no longer becomes a major issue with the OS
