Should IPS/IDS be Enabled on the ER7206?

7 hours ago

Tags: #Network Connectivity #Firewall #WAN Setup #ACL

Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)

Hardware Version: V6

Firmware Version: 2.2.3 Build 20250723 Rel.05551

Like the subject says, should IPS/IDS be Enabled on the ER7206?

If so, is the a KT artical that explaines these other settings in the menu?

Threat Management
Threat Block List
Threat Allow List
Signature Suppression

I don't want to enable it to find out the hard way that it was fully configured.

Its up to you if you enable it or not. If you do, there is a tradeoff with internet throughput speed.

@GRL The question was "should" it be enabled. As in... is it recommended.

And, if it is enabled, where can I find details on what the other settings should be.

If speed was the biggest concern, I would build my own transparent filtering bridge using OPNSense (FreeBSD) with the Suricata IPS & IDS enabled and add ClamAV for AV filtering on an old Core i5 miniPC with a 4-slot 1GbE PCI card installed.

But, the TL-ER7206 v6 has load balancing and I don't know if I would have to build two DIY miniPCs to get the job done.
