Ok, I took my chances and have managed to reproduce it.

It was triggered by changing a host label in Configuration - LAN - Static IP Lease List.

If my recall is correct the expiry values will correct themselves when each host reconnects to the router (but that does rely on my recall!). A side effect is that the router's web interface suffers extensive delays.

Firmware version 2.32d.dh2

Hope this helps.

<Later> Reconnecting each host does indeed reset the expiry values. Response from the web interface on selecting Status - DHCP also gets progressively faster as each item is corrected.

Rather annoying bug. I was wondering when it was introduced?

It was there when I bought the router with firmware version 2.32d in September.

Let me have a word with our engineers, they are off for Chinese new year and should be returning late next week. (I have found different results with dh2 and dh52, so need to discuss further)

No news yet, once I get a update I will post it here :D

(a workaround solution while I wait for the engineers, is when you make changes to the host label or to the IP address, restart all devices that are connected to the router, this should clear the lease time issue)

Ah, is that how you do it :roll:

Still, it's good you're seeing the same thing. :)
