This "Connect to network about every xxx days" has nothing to do with network usage and connection settings at all.

New users very often ask where to set the cache size and no one of them ever got the idea that this is the place where to adjust it. They do not expect it in the network part so they don't read the "determines size of work cache" hint below it.

Should be in "Disk and memory usage" and have a prompt like "Try to cache work for about xxx days" or so.
