Title: releasing WAN DHCP
Post by: wilddoktor on Tuesday 06 October 2009, 08:37:35 am
To try out Endian as my router and firewall, I logged into my Verizon FIOS router (Actiontec mi424-wr) and released my WAN DHCP reservation.

Plugged my endian device in, aquired a DHCP address just fine.

Now I want to go back to my Actiontec.

So how do I release my WAN DHCP reservation via Endian?

Thanks!

Typically releasing of the lease is handled on the server end. Most providers will hold the lease until it expires, but since you're not plugging the same device in and requesting an IP you don't need to concern yourself with the lease being held. All that you should have to do is restart the WAN device.

You could also probably call your provider as most have free technical support to an extent.
