ICMP (Ping)

Respond to
ICMP (ping)

The ICMP protocol is used by the "ping" and "traceroute" programs,
and by network monitoring and diagnostic programs.

If checked, the SpeedStream Powerline Wireless Router will

respond to ICMP packets received from the Internet.

If not checked, ICMP packets from the Internet will be ignored.
Disabling this option provides a slight increase in security.
