Hi,
it would be nice to add support for DHCP lease time, both for IPv4 and IPv6. Currently there's no way to change the lease time with the firmware GUI.
Thanks

This really makes it hard to configure DHCP Reservations on the fly. Because you have to sit and wait, and hope it takes. This is a basic feature that even my 5+ year old cable modem has.

The R7000 router is basically useless without the ability to set the dhcp lease time. Why was this option removed from the gui configuration. It use to be available. Without this option I will return this modem for a refund and purchase a brand that has the capability of setting the dhcp lease time.

Are you kidding me? There *REALLY* isn't a lease time option in the GUI? OMG! And to think that I switched from Ciscos to this?!!??
Yes, you have both my hands raised as TWO votes to add this "feature" to the GUI. Sheeze!

That lease change is hell since i added another router in ap modus. Smart or not smart connection, static IP, nothing helps
Kind regards

I cannot believe this issue has been going on back in 2019 and not addressed. I have the R7350 and my lease time is 1 hour. When it expires, the connection is lost and then renewed. Just started doing this a month ago. Sounds like it should be 24 hours, not 1 hour. How to fix?

It would help if you can invalidate for a given IP the lease so that the device gets forced to catch a new IP.
i would need this to manage my fixed IP(Mac) definitions better. At the moment the new device catches any ip in the range and when i defined a specific which i want the device to have this isnt taking place for weeks (and sometimes never).
