button. In the Max Idle Time field, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet
connection terminates.

connection. If you are disconnected, then the Router will automatically re-establish your connection. To use
this option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive. In the Redial Period field, you specify how often you want
the Router to check the Internet connection. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.

broadband Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these
fields blank will work.

To have the Router select the best MTU for your Internet connection, select Auto.
