i skimmed but if you dont restart the computer, the ip stays the same

for me, i got 2 desktops & a laptop, with a 1440min default lease time, but also 3 MAX dhcp clients... now my desktops are always on so their ip never changes, & then the laptop comes on from time to time & gets the remaining slot... basically, i've never had any of my IPs change in all the time i've had this router (september-now)

& even with changing IPs, just use UPnP if possible to auto open ports (no it's not a massive security risk if you know what processes run on your OS+check tcp connections once in a while)
