NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless Router WNR834B User Manual • Always On. The router will log in to the Internet immediately after booting, and will never disconnect. • Dial on Demand. The router will log in only when outgoing traffic is present, and will log out after the idle timeout. • Manually Connect. The router will log in or log out only when the user clicks Connect or Disconnect in the Router Status menu. - Idle Timeout.
