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 disconnect 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) during this specified period, the router will automatically
disconnect the connection with your ISP.
