WAN, block, ping

How do I block ICMP pings to the SBR-AC1750?

The SBR-AC1750 can be configured not to respond to an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Ping (ping to the WAN port).  This offers a heightened level of security.  By default the SBR-AC-1750 has the block ICMP ping enabled.  This document describes how to enable ping blocking.
