Hi I'm trying to change the leasetime of the guest network.
The config I added to dnsmasq.conf.add is successfully appended to the dnsmasq.conf. When the dnsmasq service is restarted I can see in the log that the config is loaded but it appears that dhcp range and leasetime config is configured from bottom to top.
Is there any other way to do this.

excerpt of the dnsmasq.conf:
interface=br1
dhcp-range=br1,192.168.101.2,192.168.101.254,255.255.255.0,86400s
dhcp-option=br1,3,192.168.101.1
interface=br2
dhcp-range=br2,192.168.102.2,192.168.102.254,255.255.255.0,86400s
dhcp-option=br2,3,192.168.102.1
rebind-domain-ok=/.reolink.com/dns.msftncsi.com/
interface=br1
dhcp-range=br1,192.168.101.2,192.168.101.254,255.255.255.0,3600s
dhcp-option=br1,3,192.168.101.1

Why have you got dhcp-range=br1 twice? Is that a typo?
No typo the first one is added by the firmware ,the second is added because of the dnsmasq.conf.add. I would think/hope that my config would override the default (firmware) one
 
Well, dnsmasq.conf.add appends to the firmware default - so once dnsmasq reads the first one it will not look for that any more (simply put).

But why is it in the logging in reverse order then? I seems that dnsmasq reads both
 
It the way it's read in - the last one takes the honours. Sat thinking here, one solution is to copy the whole firmware dsnamsq.conf to /jffs/config/ and then edit that - that will replace the whole default file (but get it right!).

Copy the whole file is indeed a solution, but too tricky for me and not very future proof

I already provided the solution for you when you asked before. You need to use a dnsmasq.postconf script:
