Where is Renew Lease? Since upgrading to iOS 15 I have frequently needed it but it is gone. Sorry I updated some devices

Renew Lease is an essential component of using a Wi-Fi network.

it looks like an out of control developer has decided it is not needed.

it is.


does anyone know how to get a ticket opened with Apple?

Toggle manual addressing and set your own address.


If you frequently need to use DHCP lease renewal, your local network is seemingly misconfigured, malfunctioning and/or severely overloaded with an exhausted address pool.


Switch to manual addressing and disable DHCP services as mentioned above, or switch to MAC-based addressing via DHCP, or rationalize your DHCP server address pool(s) and your DHCP server(s) and your static address assignments.


Or further segment the Wi-Fi network, or force IPv6 connections, if you’re out of subnet addresses.


If you have folks that select their own and conflicting IP addresses or other similar network misbehavior, maybe RADIUS access control can be an option, or a “guest” network.


Log feedback with Apple around the iOS 15 removal of the lease renewal option, as linked above.
