Orbi lease time on rbr50 and V2.2.1.210
Please tell me this expensive router of mine can have the lease time set.
I mean really I would have never thought to check such basic thing before purchasing but I do still have time to return eve...
Instead of using Leasetime, I would recommend setting IP address reservations for the satellites ON the router and for any other devices that need router management. This would ensure IP addresses are set for each device when it's turned on and doesn't change.

Even if you use IP address reservations, the lease management is needed.
DHCP messages for lease request and acknowledgemnt will be sent regardless if you have set DHCP address reservations or not.
The client (your network device) will send a DHCP request when the lease time is out (whether you have IP address reservations or not) and then Orbi will send DHCP acknowledgement which is then logged in the Logs as above.
