Edimax Technology Multi-Homing Broadband Router - Manual (Page 4)

Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing this Multi-homing Broadband router. This is a cost-effective IP
Sharing Router that enables multiple users to share the Internet through up to two ADSL or cable

Note
The WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function may not work due to abnormal activities of
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. This function also may not work with some ISP. So please make
sure this function can work properly when you use this function in the first time, especially your
ISP charge you by time used. Due to the many uncontrollable issues, we do not guarantee the
WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function will always work. In order to prevent from extra fee
charged by ISP, please TURN OFF THE ROUTER WHEN YOU FINISHED USING THE
INTERNET.
