timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will not auto-connect

have been sent (no one using the Internet) throughout this specified period, then the router
will automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.
Note: This “idle timeout” 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. So please turn off your computer when you are not using it. 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.
