Is anyone able to tell me the maximum number of NAT sessions supported concurrently by the 500g, 500n, rt11n and rt15n models? Thanks in advance.
Edit: found this post: http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=414 which tells me that although the default is 1024 (about the same as my current router) it can be increased - so I guess what I want to know is how far can it be increased (more a curiousity thing now than anything else as although I definitely want the option of having more than 1024 connections I'm not sure that I would actually use more than 4096). Is it a tradeoff between the device having enough memory to keep all those connections happening and run everything else (web interface, samba, bt client, whatever else - i.e. if you kept pushing that value up would you see degraded performance in these other facets of the device's functionality) or does keeping connections open take up a pretty negligable amount of memory in the overall scheme of things?
