Re: There are a TON of "found attack from" on my security log!

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?

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.

It really is ok to have pings enabled. There is zero security concern here.

Ya, but 6 days in a row without a connection drop while on the previous router, I would get at least 2-3 a week. It's all good. If I get any drops, I'll disable it.
