Instead of AI protection, just turn off NAT acceleration on switch control page #1

I think AI protection enabled turns off NAT acceleration, but the tools page doesn't show it correctly. CPU usage is similar to NAT acceleration disabled and AI protection disabled. Core 1 at 90% and Core 2 at 45% with 370mbps speedtest.

With NAT acceleration enabled and AI protection disabled (nat accel actually on), CPU usage is almost 0% during speedtest.

Configuration differences can also be seen in robocfg. When NAT accel is on and no AI, vlan1 and vlan2 have cpu ports 8 and 8t. With either AI enabled or NAT accel disabled, they are using cpu ports 5 and 5t instead.

Thanks for making this work. I didn't want to buy a ubiquiti box just for this.

Hmm. After further review, the connection keeps dropping in and out when doing speed tests with just nat accel disabled.

The ai protection does seem to do something different, but the cpu usage reflects that of nat accel disabled.
