    hello,
    i was looking at my router configuration, a linksys wrt54g v7 and was wondering if i need IPSec Passthrough, PPTP Passthrough and L2TP Passthrough (VPN) enabled ?
    i'm only using the router for networking purposes at home.
    and i only have filter multicast enabled in the firewall tab.

    Your router does not. Some can through QoS. I think the dd-wrt firmware gives you the capabilities to control band width. But the model you have does not have alot of ram to work with. You can set bandwidth on BT through the preference of the BT clinet. But if they have admin right they can still open it backup.
