• Manually Connect. The router logs in or logs out only when
you click Connect or Disconnect in the Router Status

Idle Timeout (In minutes) If you want to change the Internet login time-out, enter a new
value in minutes. This determines how long the wireless router
keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet
activity from the LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of 0
(zero) means never log out.
