NETGEAR Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1310

Connection Mode Set the connection mode to Dial on Demand, Always On, or

Manually Connect.

• With the default setting, Dial on Demand, a PPPoE connection

tomatically starts when there is outbound traffic to the

Internet, and it is automatically terminated if the connection is

idle based on the value in the Idle Timeout field.

• When the connection mode is

set to Always On, the PPPoE

connection automatically starts when the computer boots up, but

the connection does not time out. The router keeps trying to

bring up the connection if it is disconnected for some reason.

• If you select Manually Connect, you need

to go to the Router

Status screen and click the Connect button to connect to the

Internet. The manual connection does not time out, and you

have to click the Disconnect button on the Router Status screen

to disconnect it.

Idle Timeout (In Minutes) An idle Internet connection is terminated

after this time period. If

this value is zero (0), then the router keeps the connection alive by

reconnecting immediately whenever the connection is lost.

Internet IP Address If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a

fixed IP

address, the router finds an IP address for you

automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically from

ISP.

If you have a fixed (static, permanent) IP address, your ISP has

provi

ded you with an IP address. Select Use Static IP Address

and type in the IP address.

t “Address not found” errors when you go to a

website, it is likely that your DNS servers are not set up correctly.
