Re: Admin login timeout

Is there any way to extend the login timeout? It logs me out after several minutes. Very frustrating.

Adding a configurable timeout would go a long way to improving usability.

Environment: Win 10 Pro, ORBI FW vers 2.1.4.10

There maybe a timeout preset in FW due to security reasons. Its probably not editable. So you'll need to work or navigate around some to keep the timer from running out.

Thanks FURRYe38. I agree, it seems to be an embedded setting. I'd just like the ability to configure the timeout value according to the maintenance tasks I have at hand.

I installed the system (RBK40) two days ago and am still trying to understand how to setup for best performance in my house. The frequent timeouts are a nuisance.

Another group in this community gave me an idea to keep the Advanced Home / Show Statistics monitor window open with a poll interval less than the login timeout. That provides a workaround, but it's not intuitive for most users.

Understand. Well there are others that may not need to keep the admin page going as well. So I presume this is a fine balance with advanced users and the average home user as well.
