WiFi
Athom homey disconnects from wi-fi and does not reconnect

I've found an issue (and as forum says not me only).
Sometimes Homey is disconnects from wi-fi and unable to reconnect even after reboot.
Two or three reboots sometimes help.
I have a DHCP reservation for Homey.
Today morning I've go to my router settings, router says that Homey connected for 157 hours, everything is OK.
But today evening Homey had disconnected from Wi-Fi and could be reached via iPhone or browser.
Next thing I found is that DHCP lease time in my router is 604800 seconds or ... 168 hours!
This happens exactly every week.
I did not found any mentions on the forum about DHCP lease time, so that's why I write it here.
My question is: why Homey has trouble to reconnect to wi-fi (other devices reconnect perfectly).
What should I do, may be decrease DHCP lease time?
Pleeeease help)

Dear Athom please, fix it, or write preferred DHCP lease time
Homey uses a pretty default Linux/IP stack they assured me. I have had Homeys on a couple of networks / DHCPs and also with dynamic and static leases. And if it was a big problem on Homey we would have had a huge list of issues here: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues?q=is:issue+dhcp+is:open
Good you discovered it is the lease. by shortening you can easily reproduce and test without waiting one week ;-)
What type of AP / router / Firewall / DHCP server do you have ?
Just changed the time to 24 hours. And now, how is still online for 250+ hours! I’ll write on git about it
