Auto-reconnect
Since your network settings (including IP address) are only assigned to you on a temporary basis, your ISP may disconnect you after a period of inactivity. Check this box to have the router automatically reconnect your service.
Tip: If you are planning to host any servers (i.e., HTTP web servers), you should order a static IP address from your ISP and configure the router for the static IP address.
