Forget "stealth". Stealth is not possible and all what those routers do
is drop the packets they receive instead of replying with a REJECT as
they would do normally. Stealth is just a huge marketing fuzz that does
not give you any benefits because a simple ping or connection attempt
will tell you if there is a PC or not. If no PC is connected on an IP
address you would get a "host unreachable". If you just don't answer it
is a good indication that you are there. No reason, anyway not to start
a port scan...
