The current AirPort Utility (5.2.2, for my year-old AirPort Extreme) allows
setting of DHCP leases by typing in a number and then selecting from a
pull-down menu whether that number was for minutes, hours, or days. I
currently have it set for 4 days.

It also allows for quick and easy DHCP reservations, and allows for quick and
easy DHCP exclusions. My server and network printers all use fixed IPs from
outside the DHCP pool. All other machines (desktop or laptop) which are
normally on the net use reserved IPs. (Visitors, of course, don't get in
without the WPA key if wireless or without my running a cable if not... and I
get the MAC address and IP and record 'em either way.) This makes sharing
files/folders over the network simple, and printing even easier. Yes, I had
to go to each machine and get its MAC address, but that was trivial, and
adding the MAC addresses (and the IP addresses reserved for those MAC
addresses) to the Excel spreadsheet I have with the computer names, serial
numbers, OSes, etc was also trivial. Printing out little labels for the
computers and the Ethernet cables for wired machines wasn't much more
trouble.

Apparently my Westell 327W DSL modem does not have a mandatory DHCP timeout.

I have used it for several years continuously and it is always fully
functional.
