PPPoE
Most DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet
connections. If you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to
see if they use PPPoE. If they do, you will have to enable PPPoE.

Connect on
Demand
You can configure the Router to cut the Internet connection after it has
been inactive for a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If your
Internet connection has been terminated due to inactivity, Connect on
Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection
as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate
Connect on Demand, click the Connect on Demand option and enter the
number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet connec-
tion terminates in the Max Idle Time field. Use this option to minimize
your DSL connection time if it is charged based on time.
Keep Alive
This option allows the Router will periodically check your Internet con-
nection. If you are disconnected, then the Router will automatically re-
establish your connection. To use this option, click the option next to
Keep Alive. In the Redial Period field, you specify how often you want
the Router to check the Internet connection. This option is enabled by
default and the default Redial Period is 30 seconds. Use this option to
minimize your Internet connection response time since it will always be
connected.
