| Note: The WAN "idle timeout" |
| 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. 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. Due to |
| the many uncontrollable issues, we do not guarantee the WAN |
| "idle timeout" |
| to prevent from extra fee charged by ISP, please TURN OFF |
| THE ROUTER WHEN YOU FINISHED USING THE INTERNET. |
