The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the On Demand connection mode. It specifies how many minutes the WAN connection can be idle before the connection is dropped. A value of zero means the connection will not be dropped due to idle time.

Maximum Transmission Unit-1492 is the default setting-you may need to change the MTU for optimal performance with your specific ISP. If you are using AOL DSL+ service, you may need to set the MTU to 1400.

Typically, connections such as PPPoE, PPTP, and L2TP are not always on. The router allows you to set the connection mode. The settings are:

Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.

Connect on demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed; and the connection is dropped after “Maximum Idle Time” minutes of no activity.

Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
