IP address here. If you do not have a L2TP gateway then enter

 

the ISP’s Gateway IP address above

MTU

This is optional. You can specify the maximum size of your

 

transmission packet to the Internet. Leave it as it is if you to not

 

wish to set a maximum packet size.

Connection Type

If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect

 

to the ISP. If the WAN line breaks down and links again,

 

the router will auto-reconnect to the ISP.

 

If you select “Connect On Demand”, the router will auto-

 

connect to the ISP when someone want to use the Internet

 

and keep connected until the WAN idle timeout. The router

 

will close the WAN connection if the time period that no

 

one is using the Internet exceeds the “Idle Time”.

 

If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to ISP only

 

when you click “Connect” manually from the Web user

 

interface. The WAN connection will not disconnected due

 

to the idle timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and latter

 

links again, the router will not auto-connect to the ISP.

Idle Time Out

The WAN "idle timeout" auto-disconnect function may not work

 

due to abnormal activities of some 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. 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. Due to

 

the many uncontrollable issues, we do not guarantee the WAN

 

"idle timeout" auto-disconnect function will always work. In order
