I'm sure this has been suggested before but here it goes, would it be possible to have the following options added to the GUI:

- disable Firewall
- disable Bandwidth Usage tracking

I am aware you can disable them via SSH.

Eric has suggested something like this for router speed increase

Im not sure if this is your reason?

My reason exactly. Trying to squeeze as much as possible from a simple wireless AP (WAN disabled). No need to keep firewall/stats running when the main router/gateway is already running them.

In some ways this defeats gargoyle features?

Why not just use openwrt?

But yes Eric has acknowledged this problem and has suggested this as a solution.

I suspect he is going to see if CC has any speed improvements first

I understand. Well in my case I repurpose routers frequently, it's easier to untick a couple of config options than to reflash the devices. I would rather stick with Gargoyle than go back and forth DD-WRT, OpenWRT, etc.
