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 when your ISP charge you by time used.
