I was having some issues with linksys routers giving slow internet performance, and found a huge performance increase by disabling the following under the advanced tab of the web admin page:

Multicast Pass Through: Disable
IPSec Pass Through: Disable
PPTP Pass Through: Disable

Also make sure you turn off the logging feature.

Just a note for anyone that might be having the same troubles as I did.

Interesting tips. Looking over the on-line manual, those services go mainly unused by the majority of people, so let's hope this helps. Thanks AMC.

Unless you are using a VPN connection these settings do nothing for you but open up more ports and traffic through your router. ;)

i believe the PPTP can be used with DSL connections that have to sign in to there provider, and allows a keep alive signal to the hsot so they do not have to reconnect. i guess if you had more than one network that dialed to the provider than the linksys can enalbe /disalbed it so only part of the network would be online

PPTP is "Point to Point Tunneling Protocol" and is solely used for VPN connections and IPSec is a VPN encryption protocol.

Thanks for the tip.

By the way, my LinkSys router setting doesn't have
Multicast Pass Through:
I open LinkSys Router Set-up page with IE,
I can see these things:
Security > VPN >
IPSec Passthrough: (now disabled)
PPTP Passthrough: (now disabled)
L2TP Passthrough: ENABLE

L2TP is same as Multicast?
Do I have to keep it as Enabled or Disabled?

PPTP and IPSEC are both protocals used for VPN's, the passthrough feature is there to stop NAT screwing the ports, from what i understand they just allow for passthrough on the ports which these protocals work on, which should not realy give your connection a performance hit. Although if they are inspecting each packet to determine traffic type then you might notice a difference.

The multicasting i'm not to sure on, might have something to do with comunication on a network using different routing protocals that multicast.

If you are not using the above protocals though i would switch them off any how from a security point of view.

Late response, but anyways..

l2tp is a ms ppp over ipsec implementation.

Multicast is generally not supported on the Internet unless you speciffically have your ISP set it up for you (and the peers/vlans you would connect to using it). Mulitcast with IGMP basically allows you to stream out content once (one stream) and have many people join the IGMP group to access the stream.

Had a Lynksys wireless router which finally gave up the ghost. Purchased Netgear this time and internet is flying!
