Connection Type
Continuous: The router will always connect to the ISP. If the
WAN line breaks down and links again, the router will
automatically reconnect to the ISP.
Connect on Demand: The router will auto-connect to the ISP
when someone wants to use the Internet. The router will
close the connection if the period of inactivity lasts longer
than the specified Idle Time (see below).
Manual: The router will connect to the ISP only when you
click the Connect button on the web user interface. To end
the connection, click Disconnect. In this mode, Idle Time will
not affect the connection, nor will the router re-connect to the
ISP in case of a WAN line break.
Idle Time Out
You can specify the idle time threshold (in minutes) for your
WAN port. If the time period expires with no Internet
activity, the router will automatically disconnect you from
your ISP.
