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.
I see.
Never know that this a thing on Netgear products.
It doesn't matter which I want, the only thing I want is the control over it. 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.
So again it doesn't matter which one I suggest, I need both to increase and to de-crease it in the other product...
I was hoping that this was a bug or a feature that was forgotten, but now I read more that Netgear is not giving the control to their customers.

Lets keep it simple: The R7000 is a consumer router, supporting one LAN, one IP subnet, and one DHCP server. The Guest network is just a L2 isolated network.
Just to avoid some misunderstandings here: The DHCP expiration time is in no aspect a control limiting the possible connection or association time. The only reason for a shorter expiration time is to free-up no longer active DHCP associations, because of the device is no longer connected to the network.
Already explained, an active DHCP client device connection is refreshed repeatedly, the address reservation will be refreshed again and again (as defined by the T1, T2, T3) - it will remain active forever ... until its no longer required.
