NEXUS2345:
I saw this, and my first thought was, how is this only affecting the Home Hubs? BT must have skimped somewhere in software development, because no other routers have had this issue. This is beyond ridiculous. I hope BT learn to fix their s*!# because Microsoft shouldn't have to clean up after them. This isn't even the first issue BT hubs have had in recent days, with all the Chromecast Audio drama and that.

ejs:
According to The Register article it isn't only affecting the BT Home Hubs. Perhaps some routers default to shorter DHCP lease times which might increase the likelihood of hitting the bug.

NEXUS2345:
Sorry, I read the article the other day and didn't notice that. I have a static IP for most of my devices, which explains why I wouldn't have noticed it.

Chrysalis:
its all a bit vague.

DHCP is not broken on my rigs.
