How to turn off Auto Lease Renewal?

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.

Possibly, if the lease on that is renewing it could potentially provide the same effect - reboot the hub first, wait 2 minutes, then reboot the router at a similar time and see if it continues

Okay this time my lease renewed twice in 1 hour, I have no idea what to do anymore.

It's unlikely it was that twice, unless it's renewing each device at different times depending on when their lease first started but surely not. Do give them a reserved IP, keep DHCP enabled and see if it happens again.

So am I giving my router a reserved IP to my hub then all my other devices a reserved IP to my router?

You can do that, it could certainly eliminate the hub renewing the XR potentially causing a disconnect. I more meant set reserved IPs for the devices connected to the XR in the XR DHCP page

I'll give it a try and see if my stream disconnects tomorrow, would it help if I send the log if it does?

Yes that could help, it's very likely the issue I mentioned, every disconnect issue we've seen on the XR has been due to that, in which case if it's still happening with reserved IPs you'll have to do it for every device and then disable DHCP
