Hm, usually the DHCP server for a network is operated on a different device, unlikely not on a Wireless Access Point like a WAX630. So a little bit unclear what information you are behind here for configuring the lease time.

Hi there,
So with one of the Netgear Wireless Access Points there is a DHCP Lease option where you can set it to release the IP's of connected devices from anywhere to 1 minute to 1 day - as we have a lot of connected Devices throughout the day sometimes it won't release IP's for other to connect, that make sense?
So in short a lot of devices that connect to it still can without waiting on a IP to come available on the connected SSID's.
However I spoke to netgear directly as I was able to get through to them! this doesn't support DHCP IP Client lease option so will have to put it on a scheduled reboot.
