This dropdown allows you to configure whether the
Internet connection remains connected at all times,
or whether the connection can go into an idle state
after a period of inactivity. The router is set by
default to be always connected.
Select 'Always Connected' if you want your Internet
connection to remain connected regardless of
whether there is Internet traffic across the network.
Select 'Auto – Trigger by Traffic' if you want to
configure an idle timeout of the Internet connection
after a certain period of inactivity. The Internet
connection will be automatically re-established

field below.
This field lets you configure the amount of time that
elapses before the Internet connection is terminated

'Auto – Trigger by Traffic' for this field to be
configurable.
