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.

Well, on the R7800 you can install Voxel's firmware and enable SSH. Then you can adjust the lease time in some file (no idea which one). That's the only way to do it. On the R7000, you can try enabling Telnet access in debug.htm (if they haven't removed it)

Thank you with thinking with me.

I'll will look into the SSH with a Voxel's firmware to achieve changing the DHCP lease.

    It's too bad Voxel doesn't support the R7000. May one of the other FW variants will work though. OpenWRT or DD-WRT.
