I'm using v1.4.4 on TL-WR1043ND v1.7

How can I disable the firewall?

I've tried http://www.gargoyle-router.com/phpbb/vi ... f=6&t=1243 but when the firewall is disabled, I cannot access the internet (I can still access the router web interface though)

From my understanding you want to "open up" not "close down" the firewall?

I guess so.
My intention is to increase the maximum throughput of the router (with wired connection). Since I'm already behind my university firewall, I do not concern much about security issue.

Putty into the router

Goto

/etc/config

cp firewall firewall.bak (so you can restore default firewall rules)

vi firewall

Change all "REJECT" to "ACCEPT"

Delete the following 2 lines at the bottom:
This should make your firewall open and very unsecure.

Extra rules MAY be required to full open all ports however.

Save the changes and quit

then do

/etc/init.d/firewall restart

so that it reloads firewall with your modified firewall settings

This also will screw up the Bandwidth monitor graphing!

This will probably also screw up an QoS stuff as well.
This is only recommended for the brave / insane / gurus!

Bandwidth Usage / B/W Distribution will not work
when you delete the 2 above lines from the firewall config file.

that's ok for me, because I've also disabled the bandwidth monitor service
