Blocking an ICMP Ping
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 your Router’s
security level�
Utilities
The “Utilities” screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router
and perform certain administrative functions�
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click
“Apply Changes”� The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping�
