How to turn off Auto Lease Renewal?

As the title says, how do I turn this off? It happens every night at 9pm and always cuts off my streams then it's fine once it's finished.

You can't disable it per se but a few options:

1. Reboot the router at a different time such as just prior to going to bed or early morning and it should then shift the renewal to happen then instead
2. Disable DHCP entirely after you've given all devices a reserved IP address - any new devices you want to connect you'll have to give them a static/reserved IP on the device itself first

#1 would be the easiest option really.

Darn it, I was afraid this would be the answer, ah well, thanks for the confirmation Fraser.
