Question by elle4: How long does your computer name stay on the router after youve logged off network?
if you log into a network router, does your computer name stay there for a certain amount of time? becus i can see other computers in the network but they arent logged on(they have red x’s) so im just wondering if the router automatically clears a name after its been disconnected for a long time.

A router that is using a DHCP server to assign IP addresses “leases” that IP address to a particular computer for a set period of time. That time is usually accessible in the setup screens for the router
You do not want to set the lease time too short, or the computers on the network will have problems with losing their connection.
