  • Page 116 Solution If the connected non-wireless device is idle and no communication occurs from it for 5 mins, BR-300AN automatically cuts a link with it. To recover the communication, try to do anything that can cause communication packets on the non-wireless device. For the connection not to be timed out again, it is recommended to enable the address management table feature on BR-300AN or to disable the sleep mode on the non-wireless device.
