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. 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 when you use this function in the first time,
especially your ISP charge you by time used.

Back Panel
The diagram (fig1.0) below shows the broadband router’s back panel. The router’s
back panel is divided into three sections, LAN, WAN and Reset:
1) Local Area Network (LAN)
The 4 LAN ports are for you to connect to your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs
and switches etc.
2) Wide Area Network (WAN)
The WAN port is for connecting to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the
Internet.
3) Reset
The Reset button allows you to do one of two things.
1) If problem occurs with your router, press the router’s reset button with a pencil
tip (for less than 4 seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your
original configurations.
2)
If problem persists, or you experience extreme problems, or you forgot your
password, press the reset button for longer than 4 seconds, and the router will
reset itself to the fac t o r y default settings (warning: your original configu ra ti ons
will be replaced with the factory default settings)
