Please trim your quotes to the relevant text to which you are
responding.  PLUG has it's own guidelines plus refer to posting style
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style>

"Allow Remote Login" is related to Web Management (http/https) and
Telnet - these are TCP services; whereas ping is ICMP and at a lower
layer in the protocol stack.

I would suggest that you disable "Allow Remote Login" unless this is
what you really want i.e. to be able to manage your router from the
WAN.  Also pick a "strong" password.
