Hi, all:


Sorry for my naive question. I'm just wondering why whenever my desktop is connected into my local network, the Conn. Count under Active Clients is of a value over 300? While for all the other wired or wireless devices, Conn. Count under Active Clients is a very small value, say, 1 or 2?


Cheers

Because everytime you move around in the webgui, you create new connections, and if your TCP timeout is set default or even couple of minutes, the connections will remain until the the connections timeout, nothing to worry about. Also, it may show more on the count because before you accessed the webgui, you may have been surfing the web etc, and those connections would need to timeout as well.
