Router Reconnects to PPPoE every 2 hours?

[Ph4Y5e]

Hi,

Ive recently just installed my router and have installed the beta firmware from Asus.(1.9.3.6)

currently it is like this
ADSL(PHONE LINE) --> ADSL MODEM(ALCATEL)--> WL500g --(wireless)--> PC, Laptop...

I have a limited hours account, and have managed to get the router to disconnect after 5 minutes of Tx idle time, this works fine...

What i dont understand is, why does the router reconnect to the PPPoE connection every two hours lets it idle for 5 minutes(cos im not at home) then disconnects itself again.(checked this through my account usage logs and it has been doing this for the past 10 hours)

is there a way to set this reconnection time to never? or just to have the router connect on demand after the idle time discconection?(like the Link sys routers)

i have searched through here and havent had much luck...

ok...
after i installed that firmware, it wouldnt disconnect anymore...

i installed the latest beta from asus... and the idle disconnect works fine...

is there some sort of command that i can use to change the frequency of the NTP server update?

thanks

With my wl500g disconnect does not work either with Olegs firmware 1.9.2.7-5a nor with the new 1.9.2.7-6a.2. I have hoped with the newest version the problem would be solved. As I now see, that other also have the problem, I would know now if there are wl550g users with Olegs latest firmware, where this function works correctly.

With 1.9.2.7-5a I had with Tx only on and idle time 300 seconds no disconnect at all. With 1.9.2.7-6a.2 the router disconnects but immediatly reconnects :(
