Connect Manually
- You can set up the router so as to connect or disconnect it manually. After
a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time), the router will cancel your Internet connection,
in which case you will not be able to re-establish your connection automatically as soon as you
attempt to access the Internet again. To use this option, click the radio button. If you want your
Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter “0” in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise,
enter the number of minutes that you wish to keep the connected status active unless a new
link is requested.
Caution
: Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated despite your setting of the “Max Idle
Time” interval. This is due to some applications are continually linked to the internet in the
background.
