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.

In my guest network I want to de-crease the DHCP lease time and in my other router I want to increase the lease time.
You have two routers on one network?
Curiouser and curiouser.
Not sure if I follow, but there's only one DHCP server for both your own LAN the the Guest one. So you can't keep the lease time for your LAN but modify the one for the Guest. If you set your own lease value, it will be for both your LAN and the Guest. The Guest is not an entirely seperate network with its own DHCP. It's mostly made of iptables rules and virtual interfaces.

Does the "guest" network follow the same rules as all the others?
I would ask Hot54321 why they wanted to change the Lease Time for that, but they don't seem to want to tell us why they want to tweak this setting.
