AC87R Dual WAN DHCP on .47 Issue

[MrLawliet]

Hi Merlin,

It looks like when you try to set Dual WAN settings for 2 connections that are both Automatic, you can't have different "DHCP query frequency" set. When you change it for one, it changes for the other.

Is it possible to keep them as 2 separate settings for each WAN? Normal seems to work well for Rogers and Aggressive works well for Bell, but neither works for both causing at least 1 to remain down.

Let me know.

There is no technical reason why Normal wouldn't work for any ISP, since all it does is wait a bit longer between sending DHCP requests to the ISP.
