I have an Arris TG1672G-NA modem with built-in Wireless router. Though speed is not a problem for me with my current plan of 300Mbps. However, Being a online gamer, I do have a question about a routers built-in Firewall. Does it slow downs your online gaming in terms of speed/ latency/ ping etc. Because firewall scans every packet that goes in?
I do have windows firewall and having 2 firewalls make no sense to me. Any thoughts?

Hey guys,
I have an Arris TG1672G-NA modem with built-in Wireless router. Though speed is not a problem for me with my current plan of 300Mbps. However, Being a online gamer, I do have a question about a routers built-in Firewall. Does it slow downs your online gaming in terms of speed/ latency/ ping etc. Because firewall scans every packet that goes in?
I do have windows firewall and having 2 firewalls make no sense to me. Any thoughts?
thanks
