=== Really disabling the firewall === From a customer: While going mad with a [[TG582N\|tg582n]] tonight. I discovered they try to do stateful firewalling even when the firewall is disabled in the web interface. This breaks where you want to failover to 3G. I guess it would also break if you had 2 ADSL lines. ''[ There should be a special circle of hell reserved for the designers who created a firewall '''level''' of 'Disabled' and a firewall '''state''' '' of 'disabled' which are very different concepts. ] Completely disabling the firewall seems to be necessary to allow [[IPv6]] connections from WAN side to network, as even when IPv4 firewall is 'off', the [[IPv6]] still seems to be firewalled.
