Admin Screen Timeout

It seems like the admin screen times out frequently and I have to keep entering my user name and password.  Any way to change that?

    Hello JBMN

     

    Is this happening on all web browsers? maybe try clearing your browser cache.

      Let me do some testing (chrome on my android phone) and update this.  I noticed it as I was doing all my inital configuration (Chrome on Windows 10).  I'd flip over to a different browser  screen or run to verify a MAC address for my static IP assigments (wifi printer) and it seemed like it would ask me to re-authenticatw.

       

      What should it be: 5 minutes? 10 minutes?

        I have been using chrome on Pc and if I leave it inactive between 5-10 min it will time out for me as well.
