Re: Modem GUI w/ Router - ISO Definitive Answer
One thing under advanced---connection type set that to always attempt to connect on the modem. |

Cleveland, OH | Got it. Interestingly, I had to reboot my router to apply the change network-wide. What's the advantage of "Always attempt to connect" vs. "Connect on demand" with a zero timeout? |

Connect on demand means it will connect when you need the internet. |

| Seems like a fine line. On one hand, it will "always attempt to connect" regardless of what's going on on the inside, while on the other hand, it will attempt to connect (only) when it senses a packet directed to the outside world, and never disconnect. I guess the former is better if one's interested in obtaining an always on connection. |
