DoS Firewall
Enable DoS | If enabled, DoS (Denial of Service) attacks will be | |
Firewall | 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 | The ICMP protocol is used by the "ping" and | |
ICMP | "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. | |
