What is the downside of turning off Block Anonymous Internet Requests on my routher?

Uhhh people may hack in and take all of your stuff on your computer and crap. But if your not in the city or in a place where wardrivers drive your good.

Basically this feature enables "stealth" mode, which means that your router will not respond to unsolicited packets coming in. This means you will be unpingable and anyone doing a port scans will not even see a computer at your IP.
