Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on UDP/IP networks whereby a DHCP server dynamically assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network so they can communicate with other IP networks.
What do other people have settings for "Lease Time" for their router? Mine was defaulted at a week, but it seems as if some of my devices were losing their link. It was suggested to me that I shorten it (I arbitrarily chose 12 hours) and the problem seems to have gone away.
Googling the subject mostly yielded mostly warning about increasing lease time if you are in a residential environment with few guests so that you have a small number of devices comes and go.
