   Behringer at least seems to be up with what's happening, which is why it   
   seems a bit odd to include a capability that's not quite as practical as it   
   should be.

   I can't imagine Behringer not being aware of that situation and designing   
   accordingly.

   That's still an unnecessary inconvenience.

   It needs to totally ignore unauthorized connection attempts.

   With an external router you don't still expect problems do you?
