Connect on Demand: This feature may be helpful if you are billed based on the time that you are connected to the Internet. When this feature is enabled, the connection will be disconnected after a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). As soon as you attempt to access the Internet again, the router automatically re-establishes your connection. If you enable this feature, also enter the Max Idle Time, which is number of minutes that the connection can be inactive; when this limit is reached, the connection is terminated. The default Max Idle Time is 5 minutes.

Keep Alive: This feature ensures that your router is always connected to the Internet. When this feature is enabled, the router keeps the connection alive by sending out a few data packets periodically. This option keeps your connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle. If you enable this feature, also enter the Redial Period to specify how often the router verifies your Internet connection. The default period is 30 seconds.
