To start… a quick notice concerning my knowledge of this area, its very unknown, so please forgive me if I show a lack of understanding of certain concepts. (P.S. writing this at midnight)<\/p>\n
Alright here is the current problem. Recently, my internet has been dreadfully slow, and it has not been fun to deal with. Due to this problem I decided to take a look into this problem. Some information that might be important:<\/p>\n
Router is a little over 5 years old
\nMy router at this moment hosts about 7 people at a given time.
\nThe router is a WNDR3300
\nMe including 2 other people play games requiring internet connection (Multiplayer)<\/p>\n
My first thought was, my router is just old and we need to get a newer one, however, I wanted to be sure, so I checked my router’s logs and found this.<\/p>\n
[LAN access from remote] from 58.115.113.111:8028 to 192.168.1.10:6881 Monday, Oct 05,2015<\/p>\n
also I noticed this:<\/p>\n
[Self2WAN ICMP type b Detected!] To prevent from revealing router’s activity, this packet is dr Monday, Oct 05,2015<\/p>\n
These two things scare me, because ICMP is (I believe) “ping” or some sort of request\/reply thing… (Sorry, probably butchered it). I have been told, that this could be a potential security risk.<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading and if it turns out to be nothing, that is great. And if its something… well time to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":12},"question-category":[49],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-9265","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-networking"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/9265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=9265"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=9265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
