DoS Firewall
Enable DoS
Firewall
If enabled, DoS (Denial of Service) attacks will be
detected and blocked. The default is enabled. It is
strongly recommended that this setting be left
enabled.
Note:
• A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or
damage your PCs, but overloads your Internet
connection so you can not use it - the service is
unavailable.
• This device uses "Stateful Inspection"
technology. This system can detect situations
where individual TCP/IP packets are valid, but
collectively they become a DoS attack.

Respond to
ICMP
The ICMP protocol is used by the "ping" and
"traceroute" programs, and by network monitoring
and diagnostic programs.
• If checked, the Wireless Router will respond to
ICMP packets received from the Internet.
• If not checked, ICMP packets from the Internet
will be ignored. Disabling this option provides a
slight increase in security.
