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 want to use the Internet and keep connected until the WAN idle timeout. The

 

Connection Type

 

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 ISP only when you click “Connect”

 

 

 

manually from the Web user interface. The WAN connection will not disconnected due to

 

 

 

the idle timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will not

 

 

 

auto-connect to the ISP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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) during this specified period, the

 

 

 

router will automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.

 

 

 

Note: This “idle timeout” function may not work due to abnormal activities of some

 

Idle Time

 

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.
