	exceeds the “Idle Time”.

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

	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.
