    Yeah, I know it should be smooth...but sometimes that doesn't happen...and it's probably a Windows issue from what I have learned, as it will happen on some computers and not others...either way, long lease time prevents people occassionly losing their connection every day and I don't have to listen to their whining =).  It's worked for me over the years...I prefer a longer least time, that's all. 

     

    It's really pointless talking about this with this router anyway, as it can't be changed.  Thanks, though.
