Description: Some Internet providers disconnect their customers' Internet connections once a day. You can set the time of this so-called forced disconnect yourself by configuring an automatic separation and a direct re-dialup in the configuration of your LANCOM router and using CRON jobs.
As CRON table operations are time dependent it is necessary to synchronize via the router's NTP client. 1. To this end you can configure an NTP server in the router under Date & Time → Synchronization by setting the option Synchronize to an NTP time server at regular intervals. 2. Click the Timer server button and add one or more time servers to the list. 3. Then make the following entry in the Cron table under Date & Time → General. The syntax is do/o/m/d <remote site>The entry means that the Internet connection will be disconnected at 02:00 am every day.
