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..

To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click “Apply Changes”.. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping..
