The non-default setting in TP that says it will search all packets, as opposed to the default: pass packets un-processed under high traffic, always seemed to be the safer approach, to me, as opposed to the default.
(My reasoning: say someone throws high amounts of crap at me: With intention of hitting default setting, knowing that it possibly then be passed.. I feel This is patently un-safe!)!

Year or so ago, I posted here and other place and received ‘leave it alone’ responses. Wanting to know more: I set one 2600 router one way, my other 2600 set as default, (promptly forgot which had which), and eventually put one 2600 router on shelf.

Today, after checking TP Map (Still works!), and browsed settings too:

My online 2600 TP setting is set to process ALL Packets. It’s been this way since this was discussed before: about a year ago.

Neither me, or Wife have noticed any pauses, or disturbances (Other than ISP outages—We have Zito☹️)! — With this setting! In past year. Our ISP: 200/30.

Using the “Process All” TP setting: 2600 1.3.1-9. CPU:~45% RAM54%
TP (on ext USB/SSD), SA enabled.
NO: VLAN, VPN, Guest WIFI. (Home-made mesh with Linksys E2000).

Check your statistics to see how many threats your router has faced. If its low, (mine says 22 in the last 7 days, all medium severity),
(Potentially bad traffic being the most common).
So 22 in seven days is 3 per day or 1 almost every 8 hours, so its unlikely that the CPU is getting a workout or dropping bits.
And with only your wife and you, there's only a few devices connected to the router.
I have TP on, DNS Server running , a main network, IOT network and a guest network, together with Safe access, 2x VLANs, there are 4 laptops, 3 iPads, 4 phones, 2 desktops, 3x apple watches. a Hue Hub, Kasa smart switches, Smart meter IHD, CCTV cameras, NAS, and an Octopus mini all connected to the network). RAM usage is 62%

Thanks for your usage. More events here, but fewer on line devices. (Most devices limited to LAN access only). I had actually forgot which router was set where. Obviously next time other 2600 is powered up, need to change that one too. (Powered up to test, then update software after update is deemed ‘good’ in main 2600. Otherwise it sits on shelf as an 'up to date' spare, with External USB/SSD for TP).

When New SRM or 2600 Packages come out, I can put both 2600's online simultaneously, connected to modem on different modem ports, with both 2600 WIFI Channels set at opposite ends of the Band Spectrum, (Linksys in remote Garage set at Middle of 5Ghz range).. That, and a direct ethernet connection or WIFI connect to 2600 routers is how I test new SRM software(s): Compare back & Forth, over a couple days, documenting the new SRM or Package... With SRM fully tested via this side by side comparison..... The Spare 2600 is then Updated to Latest SRM or Package, Databases, powered down, and is returned to the shelf as a Spare unit...

Since Nothing obvious has been seen, in over a year, with the NON DEFAULT TP SETTING: Therefore, Leaving TP in the non-default state.
