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"
Changes". The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
Utilities
The "Utilities" screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router
