Connect on Demand and Max Idle Time You can configure the Router to cut your connection with your ISP after a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, click the radio button. If you want your Internet connection to remain on at all times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects.

Keep Alive Option and Redial Period This option keeps your PPPoE- enabled Internet access connected indefinitely, even when it sits idle. To use this option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.

Important: For DSL users, if you need to enable PPPoE support, choose PPPoE. If you do enable PPPoE, remember to remove any PPPoE applications that are already installed on any of your PCs.
