If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how long the router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out. 5. When a connection uses PPPoE, the IP address is normally assigned automatically. However, the DG834G allows this address to be set manually. 3-16 Connecting the Router to the Internet
