The Release button allows the lease time for the IP address that has been issued to
a device to be cleared. The lease time is set at 12 hours. If a PC has been switched

if the unit is reset to factory defaults or the DHCP server has run out of IP
addresses and another IP address has been released or has expired after 12 hours.
