Opening or closing an Internet connection manually

You can open and close an Internet connection manually. If for example you deactivated Auto-reconnectwhen you configured the WAN interface, Internet applications (such as your browser or email application) will not automatically open a connection when they are launched. In this case, you will have to open the connection manually when it is required and also close it again when you are finished with it.

Opening and closing an Internet connection manually:

◆Click on Status in the navigation bar.

Below the status information for the INTERNET you will see two buttons.

For PPPoE or PPTP connections:

Disconnect	Cuts an open connection to the Internet.
Connect	Opens a connection to the Internet.

For connections with a dynamic router IP address:

Release	Cuts an open connection to the Internet and releases the IP
	address.
Renew	Opens a connection to the Internet and forces the DHCP server to
	assign a new IP address.
