Description
Select an option from the drop-down menu.
If you select Continuous, the router will always
connect to the ISP. If the WAN line breaks down
and links again, the router will auto-reconnect to
the ISP.
If you select Connect On Demand, the router
will auto-connect to the ISP when someone
wants to use the Internet and stay connected
until the WAN idle timeout. The router will close
the WAN connection if the time period that no
one is using the Internet exceeds the idle time.
If you select Manual, the router will connect to
the ISP only when you click Connect manually
from the Web user interface. The WAN
connection will not disconnect because of the
idle timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and
later links again, the router will not auto-connect
to the ISP.
Click on this button to connect to the ISP.
Click on this button to disconnect from the ISP.
Type in an idle time threshold (minutes) for the
WAN port. This means that if no packets have
been sent (no one is using the Internet)
throughout this specified period, then the router
will automatically disconnect from your ISP.
Click on this button to save your changes.
