BEZEQ-ISRAEL Select this item if you are using the service provided by BEZEQ in Israel.
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 wants to use the Internet and will remain connected until the WAN idle
timeout is reached.
If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to the ISP only when you click
“Connect” manually from the Web user interface. The WAN connection will not
disconnect due to the idle timeout feature. If the WAN line breaks down and latter
links again, the router will not auto-connect to the ISP.
