Increase DHCP LeaseTime setting?
Hi, Where can I find this setting to increase DHCP Leasetime? This simple setting it seems its not include in the firmware? Why is that? This is a basic setting that should in the firmware.
I want to it decrease my lease time for example to 1 hour instead of 24Hours.
How to achieve that?
It is automatically that the DHCP lease time is 24Hours, but I want to de-crease it to 1 hour.

Facing a problem with a DHCP running out due to a lot of walk-in visitors as microchip8 says? Either way, it won't magically fix the unspecified DNS issues you are apparently behind.

Some people like a very short least time, like 2 hours or so, in places where lots of clients come and go so that the DHCP pool doesn't get exhausted that easy.
I dont have DNS issue on my R7000, I just want to de-crease the DHCP lease time to 1 hour instead of 24H.
So how can I this achieve this?

Why?
When trying to fix problems, it is usually a good idea to start with a description of the destination you want to reach rather than running up here with questions about how to get there. That avoids the risk of getting the "If I wanted to get there, I wouldn't start from here" answer to that old joke about someone asking a stranger for directions.
So far you have simply restated the original question several times. Is there any reason why you don't want to answer the question that schumaku and microchip8 have asked.
If you can answer the "why?" question, they may be able to offer suggestions on how to achieve whatever it is that you want to do.
Okay,
I want to de-crease the DHCP Lease time because of the guest network I want a shorter lease time periode of 8Hours.
That's why. So don't discuss with me ''Thats not need it, Etc. Etc. ''
This is a option what I want for guest network a shorter lease time periode.
So why is this basic-option not availble for us? While other brands have this option. I was on different brands have this option.
So tell me now how to achieve this?
