Let's start with the first question, what is the difference between these as far 
as what the config should be?

forget the GUI or automated settings. If I am configuring a Cerowrt box 
mmanually, what should I set differently for the different types of configs?

What is the impact of getting it wrong? (if it's like VPN overhead where setting 
the rate just slightly too high results is lots of wasted 'airtime' by setting 
it too low results is a amall amount of wasted 'airtime' then a low enough value 
to be reasonalbe everywere is a good default)
