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 disconnect 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

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.
