What exactly is the lease renewal.

Is it anything I should be concerned about?

Checking the log for my Sky Hub SR101 I find that the lease renews approx. every 15 minutes.

Lease renewal is about issuing your internal devices connected by ethernet and wifi with IP addresses.

This is to do with your routers and all routers have different renewal times, sometimes if you're having issues connecting devices setting a longer renewal time will often fix things, but I would say, if it is all working fine - then nothing to worry about

Thanks for the reply Jid,

actually - the one your seeing in the SR101 log is for ADSL IP and not internal network IP's (although what jid says still stands) - for whatever reason sky force their routers to renew the IP lease every 15 minutes or what not - I dont know why, I think its only MER connections they do this on (but could be wrong)...is yours connected via MER?  - if you ever swap sky (MER) routers around you will find that the new one will not connect until the new lease has come through, however if you put in a non-Sky (MER) router you force PPPoA and it will work instantly, and same coming from PPPoA to MER, it is only switching between MER routers that you have to wait
