This is an optional parameter. You can specify the maximum size of

MTU

transmission packet to the Internet. The range of the MTU will be from 1492 to

 

512. You can also consult you ISP for the optimal MTU as well. Default: 1392

 

 

 

If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect to the ISP. If the WAN

 

line breaks down and links again, the router shall auto- reconnect to the ISP.

 

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

 

when someone wants to use the Internet and keep connected until the WAN

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. Default: Continuous.

 

 

 

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) throughout this

 

specified period, then the router will automatically disconnect the connection

 

with your ISP.

 

Note: This “idle timeout” function may not work due to abnormal activities of

Idle Time

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, especially

 

when your ISP charges you by time used.
