WAN Ping Blacking
Computer hackers use what is known as "pinging" to lind potential
victims on the lnternet. By pinging a specific iF address and receiving
a response lrcm the IP address, a hacker can determine that 7
something or interest might be there. The neuter can be set up so it
will not respond to an ICMP plng from the outside. This heightens the
level or security of your Router. —

To turn 0" the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping" (I) and click

Enabling Remote Management
Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote
management allows you to make changes to your Router's settings
irom anywhere on the Internet. There are two methods of remotely
managing the nouter The first is to allow access to the Routerlrom
anywhere on the internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely
manage the nouter". By typing in your WAN IP address lrom any
computer on the Internet, you will be presented with a login screen
where you need to type in he password or your nouter The second
method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely manage the
Flouter This is more secure, but less convenient. To use this method,
enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Routerlrom
in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely
manage the Router”. Beldre you enable this lunction, it is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED that you set your administrator password Leaving the
password empty will potentially open your Router to intrusion
