Note
The Access Point allows multiple computers simultaneous access to the Internet, but does not automatically disconnect the dial-up

The time period allowed before automatic disconnection may be changed using the Custom Access Point Setup Utility.
Note that automatic disconnection may not work due to unexpected packets sent from the Internet. Click Disconnect to disconnect the
connection when you are through with the Internet access.
