Pekin, IL | [Tomato] wrt54gl with tomato one issue
the lease time is 60 seconds, but when i connect my dsl modem to my computer directly its a much longer time.
what can i do to make sure i have a more accurate lease time in my router? |

Rochester, MA | Just for sake of understanding, are you talking about the lease you get from your ISP (public IP on WAN) or the lease time that the router assigns to your PC (private IP on LAN)? |

Rochester, MA | OK, so it's the lease being assigned by your ISP. It's odd that it would be different. Perhaps try cloning the MAC address of your PC to the router and see if that changes your lease time. |

Rochester, MA | I'm not either but maybe your ISP has authenticated your original MAC somehow.
By the way are you using PPPoE to connect? |
