There is nothing to stop anyone doing a port scan on your router.  You might try setting up the router not to respond to pings. That might reduce the occurrence a bit.

Subject: [Hampshire] Router Port Scan

Over the last couple of weeks or so my router keeps sending me emails similar to the below:-

"TCP Packet - Source:122.226.102.31 Destination:(my internet connection) - [PORT SCAN]"

The source is different each time but sometimes with the same 3 starting starting blocks. 

Should I be doing something about this? Do other people have similar scans?

Can somebody please give me some simple guidance.

Clive
