Re: There are a TON of "found attack from" on my security log!
said by Its a Secret  :You have no concerns there. As a matter of fact, blocking your WAN ping can cause your connection to drop. A ping is just a ping, nothing more. If you have no ports open, they just bounce. I'm just curious. On my previous wireless router, I would completely lose my connection and have to reset the router to get it back. Is that what a connection drop is?

| said by Its a Secret :Yep, that would be it. Well, if my connection drops at all, I'll uncheck it, but my previous Dlink wireless G router didn't even have that option and the connection dropped on that all the frickin' time so I'm hoping that this is actually preventing it.

U B Funny | It really is ok to have pings enabled. There is zero security concern here. |
