Hi,
I keep getting a ONE HOUR lease time on my WAN IP. And it does not renew automatically.
I called Videotron (ISP) and they state that they don't provide lease time. They deliver IPs based on router MAC and you kind of remain on that IP until you change the router, or that they need to make maintenance on their network.
So after 1 hour, the lease time becomes zero, I lose all connection to Internet, until I hit "DHCP Renew". Then I get back my old IP (As I have the same router MAC).
If I manually "DHCP Release", I get all zeros, If I hit "DHCP Renew", I again get my same IP back.
I would power off both the ISP's Modem and the R7000. Power-up the Modem 1st wait for it to up and ready. Then power-up the R7000. _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone

But this is 2.4? As I already have 3.0 (DD-WRT v3.0-r33986 std)
Am I missing something?
2-Will this force me to REDO all my setup or there is a way to move my config from one firmware to the next? Or maybe get a report of my current config in a file, then I can side check them manually?
3-My router is running at 100% all the time. The load average is at 2.22, 1.75, 1.33. Even when no one is on the network. Wondering what causes this.
4-In the current firmware, I have configured a reboot every morning at 7am. to start our day fresh. Yet it does not seem to work.
