Nighthawk AX8 - RAX80-100NAS - IP lease time can't be set?
Since putting in the new router I've had several problems with connections being dropped for a few seconds and couldn't understand why. It wasn't all at once and wasn't occurring that frequently. ...
I decided to just send it back and buy something else. For $400 I can't see having disconect issues all the time and the number of other little weird internet issues that have been more and more numerous. For that kind money I expect things to work.
Things will probably work better if the replacement router does not have the name Netgear on it.
Did you try using the DHCP reservation feature in the router?
Advanced >> Setup >> LAN Setup
Scroll to the bottom and add an IP reservation for the MAC address of the device.
I do not understand why someone would attempt to direct you to telnet into your device when the setting is readily available in the GUI.
