| 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”. |

Idle Time | You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN |
| port. This means if no 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 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. |
