I'd be amazed if the R25 firmware "fix" for the IP flood detection issue wasn't just a case of them ignoring whatever it was set to in the interface. It's a pretty pointless feature to have on a home router anyway.

Turning off the firewall could certainly have some effect but I seriously dobut that it has actually been possible to run the IP flood protection code for some time now. If somebody can demonstrate a repeatable test showing a difference between on and off I'll be interested to see it as it will knock some of my cynicism about the hub firmware coders.
