Network Service Detection - TP-Link TL-R470T+ User Manual

Connect Automatically - Connect automatically after the router is disconnected. To use this
option, click the radio button.
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 your Internet
connection, and 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 requested.
Note:
Sometimes the connection cannot be disconnected although you specify a time to Max Idle Time
because some applications visit the Internet continually in the background.
