Lease expired in Internet status

[evalf]

I recently purchased an RT-AC68U on which I have installed the Merlin firmware. I previously used DD-WRT on a TP-Link router so I'm new to how the Merlin/Asus firmware operates.

I have noticed for a couple of weeks now at the bottom of the internet status that the Lease time displays "renewing..." and the Lease expires displays "Expired". I have tried reseting both the router and the modem, turning the internet connection off and on at the top of the internet status, but nothing changes. This does not seem to affect my internet connection though, which works without a hitch, so it's more the matter of understanding what is going on.

I've attached a screen shot of the internet status. I've just upgraded to the latest firmware release, and the indications haven't changed.

Could anyone enlighten me as to exactly what is going on with these two indications, and if there is something I can do to make them "normal". Thanks!

My router displays the same as well. It's been like this for awhile now and did this with another model too. There's no difference whether using stock or Merlin firmware. Must be a PPPoE thing.

Interesting behavior, I have pppoe connection as well, but in router it doesn't show lease expired. It renew itself well if internet works it doesn't matter much.

try set to NO

Enable VPN + DHCP Connection - NO"

That fixed it, now both the Lease time and Lease expires fields are not displayed anymore. Thanks!

I cant tell you how many hours I spent googling for a resolution on this! Yet so simple. Thanks @VANT!
