SpeedStream Router User Guide
Use Idle Timeout:
If the connection sits without transmitting for the specified time, the router will log out the PPP
connection. This helps relieve Internet congestion at the ISP level. The SpeedStream router also
provides a Connect on Demand feature wherein the router automatically reconnects when you
attempt to use the WAN connection. Idle Timeout cannot be used with Autoconnect on
Disconnect. •
