Please provide administrator webpage for DHCP lease admin

Please refer to this topic where the router was struggling to hand out a new IP adress via DHCP : https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7000-DHCP-offer-but-no-connection-can-be-ma...

On a router of this level, would a admin page that can control DCHP not be a minimal requirement?

I am talking about a page that would show leased IP adresses and corresponding MAC adress.

Also the possibility to change the lease time and to delete certain leases.

A log file that would show DHCP offers and responses.

With the current interface you are totally blind.

  • I want the ability to use IP reservations to know what IPs are in use on all devices.  When I renumber things, (on a prior router) I would reduce the lease time the day before and then work through a range and move things and then wait an hour for the leases to renew.  Now I have to do it and wait 12 (!) hours just becuase there isn't a variable in the UI?  Please add it.
