lease info on Linksys BEFSR41

BEFSR41 user interface shows what address the router was given by the
external DHCP server, but it doesn't show how long the lease is.

How can I find that out?

Why would you care about the lease time on the DHCP? It will just get
automatically renewed by the client-side software....

Strange, my BEFSR41 gives that information on the Status page, for
example: DHCP Remaining Time: 2 days 16:13:41

I'm running firmware version 1.45.7, Jul 31 2003, if that makes a
difference.

It does. Lease time information is not available in all versions of the
firmware.
