Re: Modem GUI w/ Router - ISO Definitive Answer

One thing under advanced---connection type set that to always attempt to connect on the modem.

Re: Modem GUI w/ Router - ISO Definitive Answer

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?

always attempt to connect means it will be on 24/7 unless there is an outage, maintenance, etc.

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

Re: Modem GUI w/ Router - ISO Definitive Answer

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.

Think of always attempt to connect like a bridge modem and having your router set to 'always attempt to connect'
