Feature Request : Modify DHCP lease time. (Trac #26)

[ghost]

You need to add option to modify dhcp lease time its really to high we need to choose between some predefined time like 6h 12h 24h 48h 1 week etc.

Look in this example i have 8 users in my hotspot and they are now at ip 188...

The default in coova chilli is supposed to be 600 seconds. I'm guessing this is actually a case of it not reusing ip addresses. From memory it wouldn't reuse address until it ran out, however the same computer should be getting the same address from previous. Will investigate.

Option under Coova Options to modify dhcp lease time now. r184 Closing this ticket, if you still notice the behaviour of lots of IP's being used then maybe open a new ticket. I believe it shouldn't be an issue as it should only be getting a new ip after a disconnect (i.e. lease ran out and wasn't renewed) and then a reconnect hence a new session and new ip. Short lease's are actually better than long leases, just not too short.
