Mac Clone - TP-Link TL-WR1043ND User Manual

 Connect Manually - You can configure the router to make it connect or disconnect
manually. After a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time), the router will disconnect
from your Internet connection, and 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 in minutes that you wish to have
the Internet connecting last unless a new link is requested.
Caution: Sometimes the connection cannot be disconnected although you specify a time to
Max Idle Time because some applications are visiting the Internet continually in the
background.
Click the Save button to save your settings.

Note:
If you don't know how to choose the appropriate connection type, click the Detect button to
allow the router to automatically search your Internet connection for servers and protocols. The
connection type will be reported when an active Internet service is successfully detected by the
router. This report is for your reference only. To make sure the connection type your ISP
provides, please refer to the ISP. The various types of Internet connections that the router can
detect are as follows:
 PPPoE - Connections which use PPPoE that requires a user name and password.
Dynamic IP - Connections which use dynamic IP address assignment.

Static IP - Connections which use static IP address assignment.

The router cannot detect PPTP/L2TP connections with your ISP. If your ISP uses one of these
protocols, then you must configure your connection manually.
