4-Port SSL/IPSec VPN Router
Keep Alive: Interval If you select the Keep Alive option,
the Router will send keep-alive packets as often as you
specify. The default Interval is 30 seconds.
Keep Alive: Retry Times If you select the Keep Alive
option, the Router will send keep-alive packets as many
times as you specify. If the Router does not receive a
response from the ISP, then the Router will terminate the
connection and start sending PADI packets after the Redial
Period. The default Retry Times is 5 times.
Keep Alive: Redial Period If you select the Keep Alive
option, the Router will keep the connection alive by
sending out a few data packets periodically, so your ISP
thinks that the connection is still active. This option keeps
your connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle.
The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.
MTU The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting
specifies the largest packet size permitted for network
transmission. To manually set a value, select Manual and
enter the value desired in the field provided. You should
leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range, and most DSL
users should use the value 1492. The default is Auto,
which allows the Router to select the best MTU for your
Internet connection.

Internet again. Enter the number of minutes you want to
have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects. The
default Max Idle Time is 5 minutes.

Setup > Password
The Router’s default User Name and Password is admin,
and Linksys strongly recommends that you change the
Router’s password from the default to a unique password.
NOTE: The password cannot be recovered if
it is lost or forgotten. If the password is lost or
forgotten, you have to reset the Router to its
factory default settings; this will remove all of
your configuration changes.
