Firewall No longer on my gateway

I shut off wifi by enablig bridge mode.  On my netgear router.

Is that why my firewall is set to low and there isn't an option for firewall right now under the gateway at a glance.

Right.

 

  What do you mean it would be up to the firewall in the router without wifi on?   Like I said I am using the netgear model. 

 

I simply mean that your hardware firewall protection and settings would now be exclusively done in the Netgear router..

 

Would I have to turn on wifi to turn the firewall to high.  After doing that if I turn bridge mode back on will the firewall remain high?   Will it serve any purpose without the wifi on? 

 

No. Forget about that gateway device firewall. Effectively, it no longer exists in bridge mode.

 

So just using the netgear router with ethernet connections does it matter if the firewall is set to low or high? 

 

No.

Thank you.

Does this mean that the router is no longer active in "Bridge mode", That the modem/router is only a modem for Arris TG1682 using wired only connections on the back of the Ethernet out ports?

Reason being only one computer can connect to the internet at this time, in bridge mode, which I never changed. Seems like there is no router to assign ip addresses to additional computers added to the WIRED network.
