Reply To: WAN connection drops on Asus DSL-N16 Hello, This is the second time I write this post because the first time I closed the forum tab by mistake and I lost the text, so I apologize if…

PPP Echo Interval – Sends an LCP-Echo request to the peer every (n) seconds

PPP Echo Max Failures  – Presume the Peer to be dead if no valid LCP-Echo request where received after  (n)   LCP-Echo replies ?

In simple English – PPP Echo Interval If this option is chosen, ppp will send an LCP echo-request frame to the peer every n seconds. Under Linux, the echo-request is sent when no packets have been received from the peer for (n) seconds. Normally the peer should respond to the echo-request by sending an echo-reply.

PPP Echo Max Failures  – this option can be used with the lcp-echo-failure (n) option to detect that the peer is no longer connected.

If Internet Detection is set to disabled and DSL link drops, you will  lose DSL connectivity and access to internet will be lost (always keep Internet Detection Enabled/PPP Echo).

Hope that makes sense
