Note
The WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect 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. 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. Due to the many uncontrollable issues, we do not guarantee the WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function will always work. In order to prevent from extra fee

This is optional. You can specify the maximum size of your transmission packet to the Internet. Leave it as it is if you to not wish to set a maximum packet size.
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 will 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.
Idle Time Out
The WAN "idle timeout" auto-disconnect 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. 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. Due to the many uncontrollable issues, we do not guarantee the WAN "idle timeout" auto-disconnect function will always work. In order to prevent from extra fee charged by ISP, please TURN OFF THE ROUTER WHEN YOU FINISHED USING THE INTERNET.

2.2.8 QoS
The QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP, MAC address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference …etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name “Others”. The rule with smaller priority number has higher priority; the rule with larger priority number has lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down.
Note: If the total assigned bandwidth of higher priority applications is larger than the maximum bandwidth provided by the WAN port, the other applications will not get any bandwidth.

The configuration below means that any request coming form the Internet to access your web server will be translated to your LAN’s web server (192.168.2.2). Note: For the virtual server to work properly Internet/remote users must know your global IP address of WAN 2. (For websites you will need to have a fixed/static global/public IP address or use DDNS with dynamic IP and domain name mapping)
