On my H2O if I'm running linux `top` in a telnet session the wifi never times out. The `top` refreshes frequently enough to keep the wifi open. Then I'll open another telnet session and that session stays open now even pauses in keyboard activity. Also, my ftp session also stays active. Makes life easier.
