Pinging Question

[.Kencs]

Quick question, if I have 'Remote Management' set on a router to be accessed only by a certain IP address, I can turn on 'Respond to Ping' within the Netgear settings so I can ping the router's IP address from another location, is there any security risks here?

Basically we support a lot of little companies and we manage their internet connection but before I advise the to turn 'Repond to Ping' on I want to ensure there is no risk at all.
