My IP lease is only 10 hours, however as the router keeps the connection alive I have had my IP address for over a year. The IP address is renewed half way throughs it's current lease, in my case 5 hours.

The only way to change the IP address is change the MAC address of your router, I did and got a differnet IP, set back to the default and I got my original IP back. Or (as above) turn off your router wait for the current lease to expire, and hope someone else gets your IP.
