Re: advice on dhcp

First off, I'd do the following with the router.
  1. For wireless connections, change the channel on the router, I like channels 1, 6, and 11 in the US.
  2. Update the firmware to the latest version available on the manufacturer's site.
  3. Reset the router to factory defaults and reconfigure.

Many times these measures will resolve a lot of intermittent issues.


Next, I'd see if you simply have low signal strength, many times adding a wireless hi-gain antenna will help here.
