Connection Type
If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect to the ISP. If the WAN line
breaks down and links again, the router will 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 idle timeout.
The router will close the WAN connection if the time period that no 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 be disconnected
due to the idle timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router
will not auto-connect to the ISP.
Idle Time Out
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.
