I am still having issues the lease time ending and causing loss of internet for at least a minute. Is there plans to update the firmware so I can control the time of this issue and the duration?
What is the need to have 24 hour lease time from the modem vs a month or indefinite. This issue drives me crazy I have tried to release and renew at a time where it isnt a pain but I keep coming back to why do I have to put up with this? There needs to be ability to change this setting on a router that cost this much.
I do agree that there should be an option to change this. I haven't heard whether they're planning on implementing that or just fixing the issue. I will ask the team to request clarity from Netgear.
Wondering if you have found a fix for this, having similar issues with my D7000 but my lease time is set to 1 hour....doesn’t release and renew automatically so disconnects all devices for a minute or more, unless I watch it like a hawk and renew manually
Why can’t you update the firmware to allow the lease time to be changed by the admin? This is just a simple thing that cheap $35 routers have. I find it to be a deal breaker. If they don’t change this my next router will be another brand.
That is for Netgear to do, I have mentioned this to them before so hopefully they will introduce this. As of right now you can renew the WAN lease in Settings > Monitoring > Connection Status but not the LAN as far as I can tell.
I'd really appreciate Netgear allow manual designation of DHCP release times. This is starting to drive me bonkers, especially since working at home and needing as constant a connection to my work's VPN. It's really not good enough and it's pushing me to move on and give up on both Netgear and DumaOS.
Sounds like an idea, @Netduma-Fraser. Keen to see if 3.0 will resolve this issue, because I do like DumaOS and the hardware is impressive when it isn't disconnecting. In the meantime, I've applied a set of DHCP IP ranges which is outside the the static IP addresses I've signed to some key devices. So hopefully that resolves the issue - but I've only just applied this so we'll have to wait and see.
