Re: Modem GUI w/ Router - ISO Definitive Answer
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. |

| 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. |
