Select it if the ISP provides you a static IP to connect to the L2TP server.

IP Address This is the IP address that your ISP has given you to establish a L2TP

L2TP Gateway If your LAN has a L2TP gateway, enter that L2TP gateway’s IP address here. If

you do not have a L2TP gateway, enter the ISP’s Gateway IP address above.

MTU This is an optional parameter. You can specify the maximum size of

transmission packet to the Internet. The range of the MTU will be from 1492 to

512. You can also consult you ISP for the optimal MTU as well. Default: 1392

Connection Type

If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect to the ISP. If the WAN

line breaks down and links again, the router shall auto- reconnect to the ISP.

If you select “Connect On Demand”, the router will auto-connect to the ISP

when someone want to use the Internet and keep connected until the WAN idle

timeout. The router will close the WAN connection if the time period that no one

is using the Internet exceeds the “Idle Time”.

If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to ISP only when you click

“Connect” manually from the Web user interface. The WAN connection will not

disconnected due to the idle timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and latter

links again, the router will not auto-connect to the ISP. Default: Continuous.

Idle Time You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN port. This means

if no packets 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, especially

when your ISP charges you by time used.
