To activate Connect on Demand, select the Connect on Demand option and enter in the Max Idle Time field the number of seconds of inactivity that must elapse before your Internet connection is terminated automatically.

Keep Alive  If you select this option, the Router will periodically check your Internet connection. If you are disconnected, then the Router will automatically re- establish your connection. To use this option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive.
