I've tried using a firewall rule to ignore external ping requests but i get still responses.

Security > firewall > access control
rule: IPv4 / ICMP / DROP / WAN to ROUTER (or wan to lan)

Thanks for your help

    It is possible that it's disabled by your ISP. What is your firmware version?
    Can't you ask your ISP to help you to set it up to disable the ping for WAN side?
    If you read the Note in Firewall page, you should see that even you set the security level to High, some services are still accessible.

    Thanks for your reply Hummel. Unfortunately the Remote Management  option is not available under the Maintenance section. Could it be that it's disabled by my ISP? (i got the router from them). Is it not possible to use a firewall rule to achieve the same result?
