an L2TP connection.

L2TP Gateway — If your LAN has an L2TP gateway, enter that L2TP
gateway IP address here. If you do not have an L2TP gateway, enter
the ISP’s gateway IP address (listed above).
MTU — Enter the MTU value provided by your ISP for the L2TP
connection.
Connection Type — Choose one of three drop-down menu options:
• “Continuous”: Keeps the router connected to the ISP. If the WAN
connection is disrupted and then re-linked, the router will automatically
reconnect to the ISP.
• “Connect On Demand”: Auto-connects the router to the ISP when
a user wants to use the Internet, and keeps it connected until the
WAN idle timeout. The router will close the WAN connection if the
time period of Internet non-use exceeds the Idle Time setting.
• “Manual”: Connects the router to the ISP only when you click
“Connect” on the Web user interface. The WAN connection will not
disconnect due to the idle timeout, and if the WAN connection is
disrupted and re-linked, the router will not auto-connect to the ISP.
Idle Time Out — You can specify an idle-time threshold (in minutes) for
the WAN port. If no packets have been sent (no one has been using
the Internet) throughout this specied period, the router will automatically
disconnect from your ISP.
Click “OK” to nish the L2TP conguration and start using the router.
