(Typed on iphone) Stay with me here. The default gateway (DG) lease time needs to be lowered to about 15 minutes maybe 30. The router only has a option to go down to a hour. So if you do know how to do this please comment. If not maybe you have a better solution.
(Longish story) the router I converted to a switch which I will refer to as RS is a 2wire router it's dhcp time is set to 24 hours and te router will not let me change it even with the password. But the RS updates the Lease time about every 30 minutes not 24hours. This changes the DNS server ip to its own instead of the DGs. (There's no way to disable the ip lease time from resetting on the RS router unlike the rest of the dhcp functions)
So my plan was to have the DG refresh the lease time before the RS. The only problem is even though the lease time on the RS is set to 24 it updates about every 30 minutes. While the DG only updates every hour.
If you know how to set the Lease time below 1 hour please respond. If you have a alternate theory or idea or solution please comment.
(Or if you do not have a solution idea or theory but you do think I'm crazy please comment) ( I would go and buy a 30 dollar switch but I'm 15 and my incomes low so I'd rather not)
