WAN Ping Blocking
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims
on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response
from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest
might be there. The Router can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP
ping from the outside. This heightens the level of security of your Router.
Utilities Tab
This screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router and
perform certain administrative functions.
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” and click “Apply
Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
