You attempted to set a release time of approximately 3 weeks.
The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user
will be allowed connection to the Router with their current
dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes,
that the user will be “leased” this dynamic IP address.
After the time is up, the user will be automatically
assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes,
which means one day.
