I have a wGR614 v7 router set up and it works fine with both wired and wireless devices. However, every 3 days or so, if I try to connect to it with a wireless device, it will try to obtain an IP address and fail until I log into the router config and reapply settings (with no changes made). I assume this recycles the signal. Why do i have to do this every 3 days or so? is there a timeout setting of some sort? The wired devices continue to work without issue.

Thanks tripledouce.

The router is configured as a DHCP Server, but there is no setting for lease timeout (perhaps it is built in?). I ran ipconfig /all (from my wired PC) and saw this, but I think this is the lease for the LAN connection

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
...
Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Tuesday, March 26, 2013 3:16:58 AM
Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Wednesday, April 10, 2013 6:44:48 PM
...

The connection status from the router shows:
Lease Obtained 2 days,3 hrs,3 minutes
Lease Expires 2 days,2 hrs,19 minutes

Even if the lease for the wiresless device is expiring, shouldn't the router (acting s a DHCP server) reassign a new IP address without having to reset the router?
