Router forcing my devices to reset IP lease every 15 mins

[Riquez]

I am having an issue where the router seems to be forcing devices on my network to renew the IP lease. This is causing a big problem for me being able to stream music, video etc in the house because playback will exit every 15 mins when this event occurs.
It happens at exactly 11, 26, 41 & 56 mins past every hour.
After some research on other forums I heard it is a bug in TalkTalk routers not following protocol.

- Can TalkTalk provide me a different router without this issue?

- What other options do I have?

Here is an example of the IP lease changing on my RaspberryPi

Hi

Are you still seeing this issue ?

The way that DHCP leasing works is that the router allocates the IP address & informs the client of the lease time (normally a day on TT routers). Then when 50% of the lease time has expired, it is the responsibility of the client to request an extension to that lease that the DHCP server will grant. You either have an issue with your clients, or something else is causing the problem.
