Netgear MR1100 timeout?

I just purchased this unit to use at an off-grid cabin.  I planned to install it and use it for my alarm and cameras while I am gone.  It seems like it keeps timing out.  Meaning, that it "goes to sleep" and shuts off the internet if nothing isn't constantly pulling the internet from it.  (red light flashing).  Then, I have to reconnect devices again after pressing the button on top.  Is there a way to stop this?

    Hi Jonathan3900, 

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

     

    If there is no activity for a period of time, the device will power down to save battery power. Pressing the power button will wake it up. You can change the WiFi standby time by doing the following:

    Access UI > Settings > Setup > Wireless > change WiFi Standby to Disabled.
