Enable Protection Engine option
Hi , Can someone explain what is the "Protection Engine" that i found in web management of my RAX50 Router ? It seems not related with Armor. Connect with cable and with this option enabled the pi...
Hello,
During last five days my internet connection become worse. I mentioned that Router RAX50 was updated automatically (Honestly, I don't when and how): V1.0.16.132_2.0.92. I also figured out that there was "Protection Engine - ON". I turned off and fixed a little, but I don't think that Router is stable. Are there any way to downgrade firmware?
P.S. On website (Support/Drivers/Fixes) above mentioned firmware is not listed, but "Update Server" pushed it by kick.
Hi i tested last FW and this optIon in last days and :
1) I had some problem with previous FW 1.0.15.128 with UI crash and UI not reachable . All instability problems seems fixed this new FW V1.0.16.132 and now RAX50 is rock solid
2) The "Protection Engine" option interfere mainly pinging the local interface. Pinging outside to internet seems not interfere so much. Very difficult to understand this behavoir without details
I have a 1000/500 Mpbs fiber connection and overall speed in upload/download does not change
As result of these testing i think that this new FW is very good and i left that option enabled .
Disabling security feature is never a good idea if does not interfere too much on overall performance
