It's really not that the router is bad; some of the older SOHO routers
just fail to re-negotiate. (even though they say they do)
ADSL frequently releases/renews IP addresses, and changes DNS.
Sometimes just doing DDNS on the router helps as well.
Power down resets the cache. It's a never ending battle...
