Nebula FWA515: firewall can be deactivated?

GiuseppeR

Hello everyone,

I have to buy some FWA515 to optimize mobile connectivity on remote sites.

I went on spec page:

https://www.zyxel.com/it/it/products/mobile-broadband/nebula-5g-be7200-indoor-router-nebula-fwa515/specifications

But it is not written if the internal firewall could be deactivated:

I would like to deactivate it to avoid interference and establish a VPN full tunnel from remote using IP passthrough.

I wouldn’t think it be a problem I have the FWA510 in IP passthrough that connect to VPN tunnels outbound not all ISP give you a WAN IP for inbound and are CGNAT which only allow outbound.

If you look on page 274 you can disable the firewall if needed

That's great, I only read the specs and not the manual.

I placed them in the shopping cart 😎
