+++++++++++ NETGEAR N450 Disconnects Once every hour on the dot - DHCP ISSUES +++++++++++++

Can you clarify whether you are seeing DHCP issues between your devices and the CG3000Dv2 or between the CG3000Dv2 and your ISP? Netgear routers usually offer 1 day leases to their devices, so the fact that you are seeing 1 hour disruptions suggests that we're talking about DHCP between the CG3000Dv2 and your ISP. You need to take that up with your ISP. It might help to look at the CG3000Dv2's logs for any helpful information that you can provide to the ISP.
I'm not saying that this is the ISP's problem. There simply isn't enough information to pin the blame on either the ISP or Netgear. But the ISP may be able to provide additional information on their end that can help narrow down the issue.
BTW, most of those other threads are not clearly linked to your DHCP issue. There could be any number of reasons for disconnections beyond DHCP lease expiration.
Which logs do you specifically want me to give you? Where do I find them?
Also how come the manual the the N450 gives instructions on how to modify the DHCP timer but the interface does not reflect the instructions?

Where do you see that?
To see the logs, log into the router. In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Event Log.
It won't let me post the logs on these forums so I had to screenshot it.
