AC2600 and DHCP management
Hi everybody.
I have extended a wifi network in a school, and i have used for that, 4 AC2600, in AP mode, and the modem/router is managing the DHCP.
Everything work fine while there is not to...

Not with simply routers i présume.. ?????Correct. These are generally dedicated SERVERS with many ISP lines coming into them depending on requirements. Think of them as large modems that do DHCP. They are fed by wireless access point/repeaters located in various places.
Coffee shops and other local retail places might use a single router depending on the size of the store, as they might assume less than 250 devices connecting at the same time, but they would more then likely have better routers than your standard run of the mill Residential models. ISP speeds would also likely be higher as well.
The basic problem will always be the number of users at one time and the available bandwidth.

What is your "the modem/router"?

What, exactly, do you observe when there is "no more the internet"?
How do you know that the problem is related to DHCP?

No.

Yes. And a typical Netgear router does not let the user change its
default (24h) lease time. So, again, what is your "the modem/router"?
20 client devices is not a large number. But, as the others have
said, if many different client devices connect at different times, the
DHCP server may have problems, even if only 20 client devices are
connected at any one time.

Hello
I try to explain my situation, for that i have made 2 diagrams. ,Diagram 1 is the situation before my incoming in the school.
The internet network was made from a connection with a bandwith =10Mbps trough routers et one PA , the DHCP was activated on each router, then each router made his own network with his DHCP.
