Connection Type
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 keep 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”.
Idle Time
You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN port. This means if no
packets have been sent (no one using the Internet) throughout this specified period,
then the router will automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.
Note: This
“idle timeout” function may not work due to abnormal activities of some
network application software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. For
example, some software sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even
when you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer when you are not
using it. This function also may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this
function can work properly when you use this function in the first time, especially your
ISP charge you by time used
