Automatically restore lost connections checkbox.
This option keeps a constant flow of traffic between the SOHO 6 Wireless and the PPPoE server. This option allows
the SOHO 6 Wireless to keep the PPPoE connection open during a period of frequent packet loss. If the flow of traffic
stops, the SOHO 6 Wireless reboots.This provides for a more consistent Internet connection but will be seen as
continuous traffic by the ISP and regulated as such.
