[M60/M62] UI session timeout too short - forcing multiple logins during installation #908

Description

@AustinChangLinksys

Describe the bug
The LinksysNow UI session timeout is too short (less than 5 minutes), causing field technicians to be logged out and forced to re-authenticate 3-4 times during typical installation workflows, particularly during firmware updates of child nodes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Login to Linksys UI
  2. Do nothing (remain idle)
  3. Observe automatic logout occurs in less than 5 minutes

Expected behavior
Session timeout should be at least 15 minutes to accommodate typical installation workflows, especially firmware updates which can take significant time to complete.

Device:

  • Hardware: M60 (Pinnacle 2.0), M62 (Pinnacle 2.2)
  • Version: All firmware versions

Additional context
This issue is causing significant friction for field installers who must repeatedly re-authenticate during installations. The timeout is particularly problematic during firmware updates of child nodes, which can exceed the current timeout window.

Related Issues:
Issue #3 describes a related authentication problem after timeout where correct passwords are not accepted. While #3 reports a 15-minute timeout with password rejection, this issue reports a <5 minute timeout causing premature session expiration.
