Connection Type
If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect to the ISP. If the WAN line breaks
down and links again, the router will auto-reconnect to the ISP.
If you select “Connect On Demand”, the router will auto-connect to the ISP when someone
want to use the Internet and keep connected until the WAN idle timeout. The router will
close the WAN connection if the time period that no one is using the Internet exceeds the
“Idle Time”.
If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to ISP only when you click “Connect” manually
from the Web user interface. The WAN connection will not disconnected due to the idle
timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will not auto-connect
to the ISP.
Idle Time
You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN port. This means if no packets
have been sent (no one using the Internet) throughout this specified period, then the router
will automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.
Note:
This “idle timeout” function may not work due to abnormal activities of some network
application software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. For example, some
software sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even when you are not
using the Internet. So please turn off your computer when you are not using it. This function
also may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly
when you use this function in the first time, especially your ISP charge you by time used.
